I don't think I've been on it long enough for it to make much difference
either way, but I figure if it's something I only have to take for a few
weeks/months and if it helps, what the heck. Doesn't sound like it's gonna
kill me, like I know continuing to drink uncontrollably eventually will. If
it doesn't work, fine.

I've wondered if I'm some kind of borderline bipolar myself. It's kind of
hard to tell with all the booze I've consumed over the last few years,
though. Maybe getting off the sauce will help me figure that part out ...

Best of luck with your husband. I read some of your earlier posts, and know
you're going through a lot.
