Why is it bad to drink alcohol while on SSRIs?
In: 7
When mixed, SSRIs can exacerbate the drowsiness associated with alcohol. It causes other negative effects in people and may make depressive symptoms worse.
I am on Fluoxetine 30mg and drink in moderation. I can have the occasional glass of wine and I feel great. That said, I pay very close attention to how I feel when drinking. If I feel myself getting dizzy I stop. The key is to know your limits and control yourself.
