Faye was not at all thrilled with the prospect of taking antidepressants, which was why Dr. Corinne didn't prescribe them. I strongly suspect Faye didn't want to take them because she felt she'd just be replacing one chemical dependency (alcohol) for another. If I'm right, then there's little reason to think she'll feel any differently now.

IIRC, Faye also completely stopped seeing Corinne after a while. If she kept coming back, maybe she would be taking anti-depressants at this point.
Siriku:
Faye's storyline has hit home for me as I have an addiction (that isn't alcohol or drugs, but is still quite life altering and affects my relationships in a really negative way). Every single paragraph, especially wondering what is left at the end, is something I think about on a daily basis.
The answer to that, I think, is friends, and distractions. Time lowers the chances of relapse, although as a recent relapse after a long period of time (last night in fact, so waking up to this comic specifically was quite significant) has shown me, doesn't negate it entirely. But I think with Marten around, Faye will shape up as time goes on. She's got the required level of fight and sass.
TomMacaulay:
Constant reader but never expected to post,
I'm British and we have a slightly different way of looking at drinking: I'm always a little aghast at how easily the term 'alcoholism' is bandied about in the States. This being said, panels 2 and 4 are perhaps the best short description of such I have read in many years- uncannily accurate (with maybe a side order of panic attacks but that might just be me).
Please carry on the good work.
gprimr1:
Perhaps a bit Mccab, but I've always wondered at the idea of alcohol making people not care or feel better. One of the reasons I don't drink much anymore is alcohol just amplified whatever I was feeling inside. It never cancelled out the depressive feeings, just made them 10x worse.
