anxiety attacks

I have suffered depression since my daughter was born 7 years ago,I have been on 3 different types of anti-depressants.I am currently on 20 mg of fluoxetine and Lyrica and if I have a drop of alcohol I have panic and anxiety attacks for hours after.
This never happened before with the other medications and I was wondering if this is common?

Alcohol definately effects your meds differently. With me, I get drunk easier and faster. It isnt good to drink while you are on meds anyways. It makes your medication less effective and it will effect your moods the next day.

That's not really something anyone could answer. It could be caused by the medication or it could be caused by something else. Everyone reacts differently to different medications and side effects vary for everyone.
