Why is it bad to drink alcohol while on SSRIs?
In: 7
I am not sure of the exact chemistry going on, but essentially both SSRIs and alcohol are altering your brain chemistry a bit.
And for some reason, alcohol can heighten side effects from SSRIs.
Speaking anecdotally, I know someone who was taking SSRIs and then drank, woke up in the middle of the night crying with an absolutely piercing headache. Which had never happened before.
