It is my understanding that low sex drive is a side effect. But, apathy and alcohol abuse are symptoms of depression. You really should contact your doctor ASAP. Mixing medications and alcohol is counterproductive. Moreover, feeling apathetic and feeling like you need to self medicate with alcohol suggest to even me (a humble non-professional) that you should talk to a mental health professional. Please remember -- you need to be *active* in your recovery. Self medication is not being active. Being active is communicating with your psychiatrist and therapist. They cannot help you if you do not talk with them.
