Hi all,
It's been a while since I posted on here so thought I would come and say 'hi' and also to get some advice.
I have not drunk alcohol for 4 months now due to having a bad panic/anxiety attack in August. I take Simvastatin 20mg for cholestorol which is now under control (down from 6.2 to 3.9) and Citalopram 20mg for my anxiety (luckily not had an attack for 3 months now)
I don't really miss alcohol although I have my work Xmas do on Wednesday and it would be nice to have a couple of beers and few glasses of wine to be sociable. NHS direct were less than helpful with advice although to be fair they were probably only telling me what they could which was 'moderation'
Basically I would like to know if anyone has any experiences of haven a 'few' drinks whilst on Citalopram and Simvastatin. Last thing I want is to feel anxious and horrid that evening or next morning.
This will be my first bit of alcohol for 4 months remember bar the odd shandy!
Look forward to hearing from you.
Mat
