follow up to zoloft and alcohol

I posted a question a couple days ago regarding the potential interation between zoloft and alcohol. I know that you can not answer this unequivocally but I was wondering what your thoughts are on drinking while taking an anti-depressant. I really am stressed out all the time worrying that alcohol/zoloft combined has harmed me. Is it unlikely that the two have given me brain damage? I have OCD and this is my main worry, that I am somehow stupider from the combination of alcohol and zoloft. By the way, I don't combine the two anymore. I sometimes think that I am stupider and then feel stupider, which is one of the reasons I have had to take some time off of college. My doctor says that if I had brain damage of any kind there would be more symptoms than just cognitive symptoms, which are the only symtoms (symptoms) that I think I have. Is this true? I don't have any motor problems etc...
My doctor says that millions of people around the world take anti-depressants and many drink while on them and they don't have brain damage.
I really need this worry to be put to rest so that I can get on with my life and feel like I have something to look forward to instead of worrying that I have damaged my potential to think at a complex level.
Can you offer any reassurance that the combination of these two hasn't done anything?

Thanks, Derek

I agree with your doctor...no permanent brain damage.
