If you take an SSRI, do you also drink?

[Anonymous]

Not like a bottle of vodka - just socially?

[Anonymous]

Yes, was just advised not to drive afterwards (which I wouldn’t anyway.)

[Anonymous]

I do, but I don't drink heavily anyway. I do not drink and drive, ever. I have not noticed any interaction between Zoloft and alcohol in terms of feeling more intoxicated, feeling less intoxicated, feeling more depressed, or feeling less depressed.

Typically only 1 drink. Never more than 2.

Rarely, I cut back, maybe one drink a month or so. Never more than one drink a night.

Due to the drug interaction or just not wanting to or?

[Anonymous]

Yes. I did have alcohol poisoning once when I was younger. I've cut back significantly. I don't own a car.

[Anonymous]

Yes, moderately.

[Anonymous]

Yes, a couple days a week. Usually not a lot but sometimes I let my hair down.

No, I do not drink at all while on SSRI. If you are healthy enough to be able to afford drinking, maybe you do not need SSRI at all

What are you prattling on about? How does one's 'health' have anything to do with affordability?

I take Cymbalta, which is actually an SNRI, but similar.

I do not drink.

That was a bizarre comment.
