Dear Bizi

a beer or two at the end of the day is fine.

i might also suggest to target 2 days a week off, where you don't drink, or at least intend not to. you need to know if you miss it. it is a way of keeping in touch with where you are with it.

since it affects how calories are burned, you'd be taking better advantage of your gym work-outs if you chose gym days - or some of them - as non-drinking days.

if you can, avoid using alcohol as a reward. using it that way promotes psychological dependence. an indulgence is different from a reward. an indulgence that you earn or allow yourself because you have been "good" about something else - that is a reward.

do you keep charts for anything? mood, meds, anything? can you add alcohol in there... i think Donna's idea of keeping track is a good one. when you quantify it and have a record of it, it is easy to notice if there are trends over a period of time.

thank you for your advice..it is good!
I have been using it as a reward! and allow my self to drink an extra beer if I have worked out.
But this is not good.
Earlier this evening I bought some beer and I also bought some diet tonic water. I love the way it tastes by itself.
I think that I can psych myself out of a beer tonight...just came home from the gym.... by having a diet tonic water instead.
Yes I will do this!

I am not really concerned about these meds with alcohol...I have been taking the same ones and drinking regularily for years.
thank you bobby for your concern.
I think that I have been "up" for a while now and that contributes to my increased drinking pattern.
The diet tonic water is very satisfying!

Bizi,
Are you using the drinking to kind of "come down?"

Are you continuing to eat meals with the Geodon?
Have you noticed that you seem to be getting better effects from the med now?
