[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not recommended. If you need an SSRI you shouldn't be drinking anyway. [/quote] This: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/expert-answers/antidepressants-and-alcohol/faq-20058231 And some people have discovered that if they stop drinking and get control over their alcohol abuse, eventually they don't need the SSRI either. Alcohol is a depressant and SSRIs are anti-depressants.[/quote] People are using the term "depressant" without understanding the context and definition. Alcohol is not a mental "depressant." It is a CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM Depressant. People just use the phrase "alcohol is a depressant" as a short form. But, in fact, alcohol depresses the activity of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. That is NOT the same as being a mental health depressant.[/quote] Keep justifying your alcoholism that way, but alcohol isn't an upper, my dude. It's not good for anyone's mental health.[/quote]
