I Love Alcohol

I have been on antidepressants for some years now, mostly Paxil, and sometimes Wellbutrin. They have done me a lot of good. And I want to start with a disclaimer: Wellbutrin (bupropion hcl) is a pretty touchy drug, and can cause convulsions either on its own, or combined with alcohol. The literature says that you shouldn't drink in excess if you take bupropion, due to possible seizure activity.

That said, I think the combination of these antidepressants keeps me from having hangovers, and makes the effect of alcohol a little different than it would be otherwise. I drank in my younger years, and had brutal hangovers. I'm in my 50's now, and when I drink, I usually feel bright-eyed and bushy-tailed the next morning.

I drink beer, wine, and/or hard liquor. I drink to get drunk, plain and simple. I'm not a social drinker, and I may very well be an alcoholic. I'm not a social drinker, and I may very well be an alcoholic.
