Hi as far as I know your not supposed to drink on antidepressants,and other similar meds.It stops them working properly,and can make you feel worse.Others may not agree with me.
Take care

I think one all two wont hurt so have a little and see how you react!
Im on citalopram and have worked my way up on the alcohol slowly.At the moment i drink about three glasses of wine 4times a week and feel great!(touchwood)
Yet my sis doesnt like drinking with these meds,so we are all different.I just find that the alcohol affects you quicker and when drinking wine i get tired quicker.
When i go out i tend to drink barcardi breezer as its a long drink and i dont get sleepy when im out.
I hope this helpsxx

Hi there!

Since beginning taking sertraline i've switched to bitter shandy so i still get the benefit of the taste of beer, without potentially making myself ill in the process!

I would advise that drinking on meds is a bad idea.
