Hi there ~

I understand your concern. The raxipra you are on may cause weakening of sexual function or decrease in libido and other sexual side effects. You may need to switch to another antidepressant like buproprion with the consultation of your doctor and you need to have no history of seizures for this to happen. With regards to librium, I think you are gradually being tapered down on the dosage of the medication and it should work well. I would also think that you should be on Baclofen or another medication to control the urges to drink alcohol, like Acamprostate; however you need to consult your doctor. I also would advise you to continue to take the olsar and the atorva as you need you medical conditions under control to rule out any possibility of having side effects from medications due to having medical condition.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
