Therefore, imho, you are no better off than you were before and I am worried about your dependency on alcohol. How much do you drink in a day and are you combining any meds with it? Do you drink because it makes you feel less anxious? Alcohol is a depressant so you should really avoid it among other reasons. But I can understand how addictive it is and that you are using it to self medicate.

> Yes yes Im worried too Maxime. I dont drink alcohol during the day while Im in my job. I just arrive home and then I drink 2 o 3 cups of wine and then I start to feel better.Prosocial , selfconfident. I do this with my stomach empty so the alcohol can enter my bloodstream faster

>Well, you need to find some better ways to cope. It won't necessarily come in the form of a pill. Although the alternative meds that Link suggested sound like a good start.
Just promise me that you won't mix your benzo with alcohol. I worry about you.
