I' m a 47 yrs male suffering from depression since last 10yrs & taking alcohol rarely but alprax-0. 5daily. Kindly suggest whether I should continue or not?

Question

I don? t know when you went for your last review. If you have not gone for a review, please do so immediately. Alcohol is certainly not recommended with this medicine. About continuing with this medication you must talk to your doctor but if you wish to discontinue always do so only under medical advice. It is also very important to attend some counseling sessions too. It is the combination of the two that will give you the best results. If you have done these two in combination for a reasonable length of time, then you may discuss the continuance of the medication.
