Antidepressants: They are an option, but advise u get help for your drinking problem & be evaluated for possible underlying mood disorder. Medications manage symptoms, psychotherapy & aa meetings are a must.

Depression: If you are heart broken i think the best first alternative boult be to consult with a mental health professional who conducts psychotherapy. If medication is needed he or she will make that recommendation. Your heart will likely heal if you open up and discuss the specifics that lead to the break up. Best wishes.
