Good luck, Chris. Hope these things help. Like any given 12-step meeting, any given medicine sometimes helps, sometimes isn't right or isn't enough; it's the process of looking for solutions, and finding them, that's important.

I've taken Seroquel in the past but it gives me brachycardia even at low doses (under 35 bpm). The others are things I've taken successfully before. It's not an uncommon combination for someone with bipolar disorder. The trazodone dosage is really low, 25mg. just to sleep.

Internist? Psychiatrist? Just curious because that is a powerful combo. Muah ~Todd Chris,

In many cases, there is an underlying issue such as depression or ADHD that leads to alcoholism. I am glad that you recognized that you wanted to live and from there so many things can come: love, serenity, peace, financial well being just to name a few.

Then find love. I am only 5 months into my recovery. I found that it was something that i needed to do on my own. It was hard enough, without placing further pressure on myself or anyone else by searching for love. Concentrate on the things that are within your control. For the first time in my adult life, i am broke, and i am single...and i am happy. Even on the shit days. X Find yourself first. Then find love.

There are also lots of meetings for dual-diagnosis. I've had years such as your 2009 - and thank goodness, this too shall pass. ~* Sounds like you have a good plan.
