Wow, I definitely wasn't expecting such a response - and so soon. Thanks.
I never had anything more than one drink here or there before I was on the medication - just something my parents would let me have on special ocasions. I only began drinking because of the guy I was going out with and the new crowd that it brought. I've since made tons of new friends that I've met from parties, and at my school, drinking and partying is like the "cool" thing to do. The whole school is filled with wealthy, spoiled kids of high status parents, and when we get bored...we drink. I know people who drink much more than I do, it's just never affected them as bad.
But what you all have said is true, lately I have been turning to booze to numb the pain - it's just leaving me feeling even more depressed than I was before I drank. Real bright idea, right?
Just been a little freaky, since I never had the same thoughts about alcohol a year ago - I was in fact, terrified of drunks. Now I am one.
I'm going to try and cut back from now, and if it doesn't turn out how I hope, I'll definitely be seeing my doctor even sooner.
Thanks again, guys.
