Hi. I've Been Taking Effoxor For About 4 Years. I've

Hi. I've been taking effoxor for about 4 years. I've noticed that my alcohol consumption has increased to the point where I get big cravings and I'm abusing alcohol. I have no reason to want to drink. No depression, good job, great family, kids and wife are healthy. I just crave alcohol. I was speaking to a councillor who mentioned that it was not the first time she heard someone taking an anti depressant and start craving alcohol. I take effoxor for anxiety. I didn't have a choice anymore. My panic attacks were out of control. But is it possible that effoxor creates alcohol cravings?

thanks
