prozac

I am about to start on Prozac but have qualms despite my doctor's assurances of safty etc. I am starting at a very low dose, 1/2 of a 10 mg for the first five days to be upped to a whole tablet after that. I am in the habit of taking one glass of wine with dinner almost every evening. I asked my doctor if it was safe to take alcohol (in this small amount) while taking Prozac? He says its fine. Still, I'm a bit worried. Am I being over cautious?

Dear Vivian

Prozac is a relatively safe medication with few side effects.We recommend our  patients not to drink alcohol while they are on  this medication to prevent side effects. If you are too worried about your consumption of Alcohol  ,I would recommend that you not drink atleast while you are on medication..You may talk to your doctor in detail about your concern.

Sincerely
HFHS-M.D.
