    Re: Drinking alcohol while taking citalopram

    When I drank and was on 20mg Citalopram, I would drink normally. I dont think alcohol and citalopram affected each other at all. I was a student also, so drinking at some points were very regular and excessive!!

    Re: Drinking alcohol while taking citalopram

    I have been on citalopram since Wednesday, and been drinking socially, I find the alcohol didnt effect me any quicker than before taking them but I did need a coffee after just a couple of drinks because I instantly feel absolutely shattered. I am defenantly planning to cut down drinking while on them as when my GP prescribed them I was advised not to mix them with alcohol frequently as it lessen the citalopram effects x

    Booze and anxiety don't mix. It's playing with fire and I got burnt.

    Sure it makes you feel good and your problems seem to go away for a bit but when you wake up the next morning they are all still there and you're not closer to having made peace with them.

    Your two options are make peace with your problems or take another drink. It can only go two ways and one path becomes one of self-destruction.

    If your SSRI is a tool to help you deal with the anxiety - you need to be dealing with the anxiety.

    I only make this post because as a serious and committed drinker, I saw the light.

    I do like the odd drinkie but I have cut down since going back on the meds.

    I really want to feel better and if that means drinking less than that's fine.

    Exactly my view on drink and medication
    I don't touch alcohol now (7 years)
    Most of us know that alcohol is a depressant so if you are suffering with low mood /depression then your asking for trouble and will increase anxiety & Panic

    7 years ago , I also saw the light ..I can certainly live without it
