Ann Blake-Tracy15 years ago06 mins

Note from Dr. Tracy: Antidepressants and pain killers SHOULD NOT be used in combination!

Experts: Women are drinking more, DUIs are up 28.8% from 1998-2007

Ann Blake-Tracy15 years ago017 mins

Note from Ann Blake-Tracy: After researching and warning for two decades that this crisis with alcohol consumption would come, I can tell you the reason so many women are now drinking is because they are the main ones taking antidepressants which in turn cause overwhelming cravings for alcohol. And it has long been known that women suffer more adverse reactions to antidepressants than men do. But why cravings for alcohol? These drugs drop the blood sugar causing cravings for sugar and/or alcohol and NutraSweet. Sugar and alcohol initially bring the blood sugar up quickly causing one to instinctively reach for them in a “self medicating” way because they quickly address the low blood sugar level.
