I,ve been on a lot of medication for depression & anxiety since 1993 and I,ve found that taking a SSRI with ativan helped me out but took me off the ativan because I,am a alcoholic I drink to fill the void and lonelyness in my life. When I take my medication I rearely drink on my meds and I feel that iam just being labeled as a dry drunk. I go to aa meetings and keep myself busy and feel i,am only acepted with other alcoholics
