I'm a very honest person and do my best to directly ask people I care about how my actions and attitude effect them.

I recently started some medication to deal with chronic alcoholism. Specifically small doses of Vallum to deal with the withdraw and an anti anxiety to deal with alcohol not being in my home. 

If I am suddenly dull, hyper, or a little disoriented how should I deal with telling friends or family? Close coworkers who I trust?  Or my boss if I feel I should leave for the day/the week.
