What antidepressent helps alcoholism?

Answer 1

I've been known to talk about the different forms of alcoholism in that if you have 100 different people, you'll have 100 different types of alcoholics. One theory is that Alcoholism is strictly a biochemical manifestation, and as everyone's brain chemistry is different, no one pharmacological intervention is best.

What we do know is that there is a huge link between depression and relapse.....some 12-step programs suggest that using such drugs is relapse in and of itself...however, most people didn't desire to get sober to be miserable, so using various drugs makes sense to me, if only to prevent relapse..
