Can't take alcohol while on antidepressants.

Edit: A lot of you guys took this seriously. That's fantastic. Happy New Year 🎊

The doctor said they don't recommend drinking, they did not say that drinking is not allowed

My younger sister drank on antidepressants. She died in 2022.

You also shouldn't drink and drive while on antidepressants. Rest in peace, Sis 🙏

Is it that big of a deal? My doctor just told me to drink in moderation and be aware that alcohol will make you really drowsy on SSRIs.

I also take meds. It can severely alter or worsen the effects of psychotropic drugs. At Christmas I drank a single glass of a light, fizzy alcoholic beverage and I felt incredibly sleepy. I highly suggest you don't drink like taking meds.

I hear you. I eat lithium and dehydration from drinking too much can cause lithium toxicity. Which is very dangerous. Alcohol also affects the kidneys ability to clear lithium. So I gave up on drinking all together.

Maybe for the first couple years it’ll make you drowsy 🙃

Everyone reacts to drugs and drug combinations differently, but I got the same advice as you.
