Can't seem to stop drinking

Happened when I started Risperdal and the fact that I'm lonely as hell.

I'm sorry that you're feeling lonely, Slinky. That can make it really hard to stop drinking. And some medications are just horrible as far as drinking's concerned.

I did really well by taking Campral for a year and a half to control my cravings. Sometimes, *just* willpower isn't enough, especially when chemistry and circumstance conspire against us.

I'm definately quiting..threw away remaining booze and no matter how hard it will be it ain't dragging me down the spiral of self medicating...my body can't take the stress anymore.
Thanks for your post.

Does risperdal affect drinking?? I wasn't out of control, but suddenly find myself ALWAYS wanting a drink and I am also taking risperdal!
