For some people this, and for some people that. I've been a moderate drinker on and off throughout my life. I'm off again some 5 months now.
I don't keep score. It has never caused me problems. No DUIs, no wife beating, doesn't make me suicidal, etc. etc.
I agree that alcohol diminishes dp symptoms, as well as many other things. That doesn't make it something to recommend as a treatment.
I have suffered long episodes of major depression with severe insomnia. After not having any real sleep for about 6 weeks, out of desperation
I decided to jog a mile and drink a 6 pak of beer. (as if I were not already tired enough to fall asleep) Not only did I not fall asleep, I was wide awake through the transition of buzz to hangover and
it was not pleasant at all. I wouldn't recommend alcohol as a sleep aid. I stayed employed during my episodes of depression. I had some very bad days at work, but I managed with two
clonazepam tablets in a vial in my pocket. I used Klonopin (clonazepam) so sparingly, that I imagine it had a similar effect that Xanax would
have. I could feel a warmth in my stomach and an easing of my anxiety within brief minutes of ingesting the pill. It helped me finish my day
of work on numerous occasions over the 6 month downward spiral of my depressive episodes. I don't know what I would have done without it.
Discontinuation was never a problem as my depressions were recurrent, and so was the treatment with clonazepam. .5 mg .
