"i went through a rough patch in life and spent the good part of a year in bars to self medicating with alcohol my terrible anxiety with alcohol. i got to the point i was having alcohol withdrawals in the mornings. went to the doctors to treat the withdrawals. after 3 weeks on librium and then another two with &quot;as needed xanax (to fend off an alcohol craving trigger)&quot;, i went off of everything. about 2 months after my last drink, i was getting a bit depressed at times for no reason. after a couple of weeks of this and doing a lot of reading up, i asked my dr for wellbrutrin. he agreed and prescribed 150mgs a day, said the effects wouldn&#039;t be felt for at least a month. i&#039;m a month in, focused, no booze cravings and sleep great."
