Re: Drinking on citalopram?
It says not to drink on the leaflet, I would go on the J20s they are non alcoholic and quite pleasant.

Re: Drinking on citalopram?
thanks everyone:) have already arranged to drive everyone so will be on the j20s tonight:) i havent had a drink for quite a while as i think it fuels my anxiety, also ive switched to decaff coffee (which tastes exactly the same!) as i feel that caffiene was also making it worse.

Re: Drinking on citalopram?
Hi all
I'm looking through the posts and came across " drinking alcohol with Citalopram". I myself wondered could l have the odd glass of wine?
Quite sadly the answer is No. Citalopram apparently can affect the liver (please don't shoot the messenger, the info was from a client of mine who's a sister in a pysch ward) and for that reason, the added strain of the alcohlol on your liver makes it a no no. Kind of double trouble. I want you all to take this in perpective. It doesn't mean we're all going to have liver problems, but firing booze down our throats at the same time could cause us some health problems.

Re: Drinking on citalopram?
I do have the ocassional (one in very 2-3 months) drink since being on Citalopram and have felt very drunk very quick. As a rule I avoid alcohol while on meds but can not see the harm in the VERY ocassional glass of wine.
Re: Drinking on citalopram?
I just checked the nhs website and it says there should not be many side effects from drinking alcohol with these.
