    Drinking alcohol while taking citalopram

    Hello all.

    Thought this would be a helpful guide to people who are feeling better when taking citalopram, how much alcohol have you drank and felt well after,

    I'm off to a wedding in a month, and want to know how people felt, I don't drink often so thats not an issue

    thanks MO

    I find you do get drunk easier, but the more you drink the worse you feel, its not happy drunk more tired!

    I went out drinking for 4 nights in a row, the anxiety on the 5th day was terrible, the symptoms stayed wth me for quite a few good days, not very nice. I would suggest that if you do intend on having a good wash, then I would drink quite moderately, you feel crap the next day but don't we always! Just take it easy and enjoy the wedding!

    Same!!! These days, one glass of wine and I'm anyone's I used to be a hyperactive drunk, but now I'm sleepy and lethargic. Good thing is though, it's made me drink less on a night out if I want to stay late; I'll crash at midnight if I don't stop drinking

    People are not always honest when it comes to how much they drink You only had a two of replys but eight votes????
    steer well clear of alcohol is what i read from the answers given
    I DID NOT vote - I don't drink or take meds - therefor this is a personal opinion on what i have read

    Also you are asking how many drinks? But is that how many alcoholic drinks you have per week or how many pints do you get through on a regular night out?

    I'd stay of the alcohol anyway due to it being a depressant. Goes against how the anti-depressants work and so forth.

    As far as I can tell citalopram does not react badly with alcohol. I would question the wisdom of getting plastered though due to the depressive nature of alcohol so make sure you limit your intake and avoid spirits.

    What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I drew the line between hope and despair, and the line will hold.
