Can I drink Alcohol while taking Antidepressants & Anti-Anxiety medication?

(ANS) I come from a medical family & my father was a GP (family doctor) for over 35 years in Liverpool. I can clearly tell you that you, that the advise from a doctor would be to avoid drinking any alcohol if your on anti depressants or anti anxiety medications. A) Alcohol is a mild depressant anyway so would only increase in the short term that sense of feeling down.

B) Alcohol might increase your sense of anxiety because it removes any inhibitions again in the short term. Would tend to increase things like panic attacks etc. c) If you doubt what I'm saying you only have to look on the drug makers data sheet or information sheet that comes with your tablets. I think you will find they both say avoid taking alcohol whilst taking these treatments.

Ivan. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
