How To Overcome Symptoms Like Depression, Moods Swings, Anxiety?
HI Ive been sober for seven mths its driving me nuts. Ive tried to quit many a times but hopefully this is it... I had bad depression from drinkin as i drank every day. Now Im still having depression and up and down moods swings, anxiety. The profesionals always blamed the booze. I am really doing it hard not drinkin, plus not takin presc. valium as well. Ive plead for help as the last two mths suicial ideations. Im a strong older woman sometimes i wish I hadnt started stoppin drinkin. Mabe one wouldnt harm, but AA tells me NO NO NO. I do have PTSD... which went away when i drank cos I covered the abuse issues. thanku

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, your drinking habit is due to underline depression and in that case, you need proper treatment for antidepressant like paroxetine or mirtazapine. That would help to control depressive and anxiety symptoms. For alcohol, you can take valium. It would help to control withdrawal symptoms.
Thanks
