Drinking and SSRIS

I just started taking Zoloft 3 mos ago. I am going to a bachelorette party next weekend and I wanna drink! But I'm scared after Whitney Houston's incident. Is that lame? Anyway - my dr says you can drink on it, but I'm worried anyway - looking for firsthand experiences about drinking/SSRIs...(not Xanax and other relaxants, but daily meds like Prozac, Zoloft etc)!

Re: Drinking and SSRIS

  • I take lexapro, and drink. My doc warned me that it would make a"cheap date," and he was right.   So you may want to test your limits before the party so you don't accidentally go overboard because of your newly lowed tolerance.

    Forgive typos...iPad typing skills are still a work In progress!

  • I was on Zoloft for a couple years and drank, it didn't affect me negatively at all, then again, I have a pretty high tolerance!  LOL
  • For one night this probably really wont make a big difference.... but one of the big things is that alcohol is a depressant so taking that with an anti-depressant really affects how the med can work
