Not uncommon is an alcoholic who gets a doctor to prescribe depression meds, for alcohol is a depressant, and it works.

You seem to be confusing "anti-depressant" (drug used to treat depression) with a central nervous system "depressant" -- alcohol (actually a disinhibitor with euphoric effects). No relation whatsoever.

No I think this is accurate. Saying they will use the antidepressant to counter the depressant effect of the excessive alcohol.
