hi,
how long have you been on the prozac? if it has been in your system for a few months i doubt the alcohol would cause the symptoms you described,
obviously we all react different to alcohol and meds but i always used to drink when on ssris-they say dont on the leaflet or words to that effect,but sometimes you just feel like a drink or 3.

have you done some relaxation techniques today,may help you and stop the racing heart.

take care

ive only been on then for bout 2 mnths cumin up quite new really and ths is the first time iv drank on them so im sure its frm the drink plus coffee and lucozade i had yesterday ,but im makin it worse wiv listenin to my heart etc.im tryin to relax now thanks ,its jus im worried about falling bad scared x

yup 2months is still very early doors,i would try and avoid alcohol for a month or so if you can,that way you will lessen the chance of it happening again.
also the coffee and lucozade is also not good for anxiety-caffeine is another thing that should be cut back,especially after a few drinks.plenty of water !
haha i write all this but im the same with cups of tea and hangovers so maybe i should listen to my own advice
take care and try not to focus to much on your heart-its just a feeling right-all be it one you dont like-it cant hurt you and distraction is the key

take care
