First, you should NOT be drinking at ALL...not only because you are a minor, but because of its interaction with the medication that you are on...YOU SHOULD NOT DRINK ALCOHOL WHILE TAKING ANTI-DEPRESSANTS! it is a dangerous interaction. Also, all that alcohol could cause alcohol poisoning which could kill you. I was once told when on anti-depressants one drink is like having two.
Also, alcohol is a depressant which does not help with your condition at all..
I just gave you many reasons not to drink.....can you give me one reason why you should continue drinking? I hope not...the negatives outweigh the positives!
Feel better and stop drinking!
