Hello all,
I just found out I have PTSD. At first I thought it was panic/anxiety disorder. It turns out that my previous GP thought I was psychotic or something else. He gave me Seroquel which I read it was for Bipolar Disorder, schytzophrenia and other mental illnesses.
It's about to be 1 week since I saw a new doctor who related all my anxiety, panic, depression, anger, and others to that of PTSD. He gave Zoloft and a shot of Vitamin B12. I been feeling a lot better. I have faith in this doctor just as much as I have with the administrators here at this site.
I used to abuse alcohol, I would drink almost 12 beer cans 12 ounces each a day. I quit drinking like that since January, I did drink a beer here in there. You might say I went from an massive alcoholic to a social drinker. As I mentioned in other topics which Meg and Nicola and other pro's have read I keep drinking. I know I should stop because alcohol is a depressant. I have a lot of family get togethers on the way and 90% of my family drinks. I asked a pharmacists about me drinking alcohol he said that they don't recommend, and you know how doctors are, it's the first thing they want you to get rid off.
Have any of you who are taking Zoloft ever had a drink of alcohol, are there any side effects, do you recommend me not to drink. I need an answer from a regular person point of view not as a physician. I don't deny being an alcoholic but we all know feeling a bit buzzed from drinking we relax, we get that "happy" chemical. Please reply any opinions. Thank you.
