Alcohol/Carbs/Hypoglycemia/Weight Gain/SSRI's...et al

With more searching, I will have to agree with you about Dr. Tracy. Please believe me when I tell you that I am in no way, shape or form connected with her "supplements" or the Drug Awareness organization. I came across the above posted info and felt it put in laymans terms what I had been reading all over the internet. What has shocked me is all the posts on various drug discussion boards of people just being absolutely stymied as to why they all of a sudden craved alcohol and or carbs after starting SSRI's. I've also read that SSRI's have a tendency to cause low blood sugar. As I've said, I'm not trying to make an excuse or anything, I just felt there was something to all that I've been reading. =(

I can tell you that probably from last summer ('05) thru this past winter, I was teetering on becoming an alcoholic. Living in nyc and being single again (recently divorced), I drank 5+ nights a week. I had liquid dinners. I also blacked out repeatedly. Ive since got it under control, but, I know its a think I need to watch.
