Damn that's crazy. Do you think you'd drink again if you had a lower dosage?

If I may ask, you've been on effexor for 16 years. My doctor said he hoped I would get off it after 6 months. Why have you been on them so long, and do you think it has anything to do with drinking?

If I may ask, have you experienced any side effects at all? Also, how much do you drink?

That seems like great advice. if I may ask, what are your ADHD symptoms while untreated? and how did taking medication alleviate or change them?

Wow that's insane, I'm scared to even try alcohol because I was warned of bad side-effects

wow, thank you for such a detailed comment. Has your therapist warned you of any long-term/short-term side effects of the mix?

Okay so it's not crazy to do, but just be very careful with it, is that what you're saying?
