Hey all :)
I currently take (daily):
Effexor XR - 225 mg
Trileptal - 600 mg
Gabitril - 8 mg
Klonopin - 2 mg
I was just taking Klonopin at first, but when the effexor was added, I noticed within a month than my craving for alcohol (which used to be nonexistent) has gone through the roof!! I want to drink at least every other night, and when I do, I tend to go overboard and blackout- only to hear about all the goofy and stupid things I did the next day... This is just reinforced by the fact that I dont experience hangovers anymore (I used to get horrible hangovers just from 3 or more drinks!) I've also been an exceptionally "happy" drunk... Has anyone else experienced this? I am bipolar, so maybe the effexor is making me manic? That's the only time I ever drink much, but I don't really feel manic... Anyway, any input would be greatly appreciated :) -Jonathan-
