My only thought on this at the moment... » Wendigo

In reply to Effexor XR and ALCOHOLISM as a side effect?, posted by Wendigo on May 2, 2005, at 12:24:01

is that Effexor may be too energizing for you. You are seeking the effects of alcohol to take the Effexor edge off. I also take Effexor and have found myself very activated by it and I also have noticed I can tolerate a larger amount of alcohol while on it. My doc has since prescribed Klonopin, which is used primarily for anxiety, and this has erased my desire for the alcohol. I can now go out with a group who are drinking and happily volunteer to be the designated driver. I think I self-medicated for my anxiety for many years with alcohol.

Good luck!
Colleen
