View Full Version : alcohol
Hiya,ive been on antidepressents since dec, things are getting alot better for me,ive took steps to change my life and now im dating someone,just wondered if any of u r still drinking while on the medication?My gp has said to just have the one because if i have any more it can lower my mood,but im wondering now im feeling happier it might not affect my mood and could drink more.
Hi Pink
If it's an SSRI type med, I think I am right in saying that alcohol feels like it has more of an affect and you can get drowsy quick with drinking.
I wouldn't have thought one or two drinks would be an issue, but I wouldn't go mad (personally) as you could undo all the good over the past couple of months.

Hi Pink,
I totally agree with what Jaco has posted. I take medications but go to my friends on a Friday evening, we have a few glasses of wine and a natter. I look forward to this and I am sure it has a positive impact, although as Jaco said I wouldn't go over the top as alcohol can certainly make things worse.
Congratulations at moving forward with your life xxx :hugs:

Yeah,,,,my doctor told me the same and i'm on 45mg of mirtazapine, and diazepam now, and on zopiclone. Anyway i dont often drink but the other afternoon i got smashed out my head,,,and sorry i liked it, and it put me in a good mood for about 2 or 3 days. Ok, after the 3 days i felt like crap again! But! i might have felt like that anyway! I suppose really it's best to take doctors advice, but i can only say my own expiereance was not to bad!
