Hey,
> I wasn't sure because alcohol has never been a huge issue in my life and I love wine too much to give it up.
<<Did your doc tell you to give up drinking, or are you only considering it because of the seizure risk? Like Eddie Sylvano said, it's rare to hear about someone having a seizure on WB. My therapist told me one of her patients had a seizure on WB just recently, but that person has epilepsy, too.>>I had previously been on Paxil CR for a year and a half and what a freakin' nightmare.
<<I'm with you on that. Paxil was horrible horrible for me, and WB has been a godsend.>>I'll see how it goes. Thanks for the input!!..;)
<<How long have you been on WB? I sometimes drink a glass of wine each night, then I'll go months without drinking at all. Then I'll get quite toasted on a Friday night happy hour, six or seven drinks. I'm all over the place in drinking habits, and haven't had any trouble.I *do* find, however, that drinking even one glass of wine, especially red wine, messes up my sleep for the night. And since I'm having sleeping problems on WB, I'm avoiding alcohol for that reason, but that reason alone.
Good luck. I hope WB works well for you.
