Yeah Ive tried Seroquel & Lithium, no good response, and yeah I think the Alcohole is making me fatter & slower, Ill try to stay off it.
I was on Effexor once while drinking stopped the alcohole for 2 weeks & didn't get better, but it's to important a stage in my life to make a med change right now I think. Atleast I can interact with most people without fear on Nardil, & yeah I think Alcohole is the main cause of my weight gain and motivation, but it fully amplifies my mood, but yeah with most short acting drugs theres always a comedown, I go to the gym everyday but have a slow *ss metabolism & cant loose weight even when off the meds, its gay, my friends eat a block of chocolate and loose 5 pounds, I eat a piece of lettuce & gain 5

> The alcohol abuse is going to interact with the Nardil and pull you down further. You are probably using the alcohol to self medicate because your meds poop-out. You didn't mention if you have taken a mood stablizer in the past. When numerous trials of AD's with initial good response, only to poop-out, is a red flag for an underlying bipolar spectrum disorder. Unfortunately, most of these medications cause weight gain, and you have to incorporate regular exercise, strengh training and portion control. This is a life style change for many. You would drop some weight cutting out the booze too.
