My doctor said that many ADs doubled the impact of booze, and to hold off on drinking until I knew how the meds alone affected me. Then I could add the alcohol back carefully.

also you may feel more drunk with less alcohol than you used, so keep that in mind.

This has been my experience. Celexa has made me even more of a lightweight.

On a whim I picked up TJ's Brie en Croute (wrapped in pastry).

Guess what? It's soooo good.

Hot melty brie wrapped in pastry. The French - they are the do that people.

My ex-GF picked this up for a recent casual gettogether at her place and OMG so good. Like, I wish I didn't know about it, good. String cheese, I am not allowed to buy this without adult supervision, good.

This is also my experience when I was on Welbutrin. But I didn't stop drinking, I just cut back, wasn't hard because it took less to get me schnockered anyway.

So one shot of whiskey would be sufficient for getting me through an episode of Venture Brothers. Neat.

Andi, I totally know what you mean about looking at something, thinking, huh, that needs doing, and walking on by as if my robot fairy elf minions were gonna do it for me. And then later, you go by it again, and the same thing happens!

Hey that's me to, but in my case it's simply a powerful combination of denial, procrastination, and laziness.

Andi, welcome home. You've been well-wished and sorely missed, and your return is cause for celebration.

Joe, Happy Birthday!

This is true for me. I have to be very careful with alcohol these days, although I do have a glass or two of wine of an evening and it appears not to destroy my brain entirely. Just a little bit.

Wishing you much help from the meds, Andi. Thinking of you.

Didn't want to say this yesterday because other people's situations were more important, but I had a convergence of events yesterday that led to a Very Bad Day. I need ~ma for the government agreeing to provide me a support worker so that I can teach this semester. If they don't, I have to give up my job, and it will likely be the end of my only-just-spluttering-back-into-life career. The govt agency that gives on-the-job support to disabled people is, like everything else, being cut back on a serious scale - they used to give me masses of help, and now they're saying I'm not eligible for any. They're actually currently suggesting that I use a student from my class, unpaid, to do everything that I need support with in lectures. Need them to change their minds, pronto, as I start teaching in two weeks. A bit of a miracle would be good here. (Had a sobbing temper tantrum in the direction of The Girl yesterday, about how this disability stuff is a never-ending battle with stupid people who don't think I deserve to live in society, but I'm feeling a bit less self-pitying today. Which is good.)

Lots of ~ma, Seska.

Mmm. Brie is one of the very few non-vegan foods that I really miss.
