Autism and alcohol — only my experience — your mileage may vary!

Before Prozac was invented, I drank all the time, heavily, everyday. Then one day I woke up and realized something is very wrong. But what was wrong was: for the first time in my life, nothing was wrong. It was a shocking, unfamiliar feeling. I didn't feel like there was something terrible and it was my job to figure out what it was.

The thing is, not only did I stop drinking immediately, but I didn't notice that I'd stopped drinking for three days. I didn't even notice that I had stopped drinking! Now it's weird to think that I ever drank alcohol at all. It's like drinking gasoline.

Do NOT borrow some from somebody else to try because it definitely won't work! You have to take it for a whole month and you have to have a legitimate supply from a doctor. But I can and am telling you that If you drink alcohol not because it helps but because it numbs the constant horror, then you should see someone who's capable of prescribing it if he agrees with me that it might help you immensely.

  • I don't think I've ever written anything that didn't cause everybody to inexplicably hate me. But it'll be hard to see how they're gonna hate me for this.

  • I don't hate you, why would I? You wrote a post about your experience with alcohol and medication and how much the meds have helped you, you explicitly said don't try this yourself but seek the advice of a doctor.

    Other's have reminded you of one of the rules about giving medical advise, but thats not what I read from your post, but then many people are stupid and will try and bypass going to the doctor, thinking that they can do it all themselves and that they know best.
