One drink is like two, two is like four, etc. I find that even with one glass of wine, I get very depressed also. It also gives me a depressed feeling for day or two after. It's not worth it!
I had a few drinks recently, no problem. Then Saturday I had 3 (two beers, 1 champagne) and felt really really depressed. Took everything to heart. Anyone have issues with alcohol and Paxil?
Holy shiz! Thanks for the feedback. Are you a Paxil user? If so, any advice on what I can expect, your experience?
Per Dr. Bob Mendola, a psychiatrist at Gannett
"Paxil as well as most antidepressants should not be mixed with alcohol or marijuana. Alcohol and marijuana can both contribute to the depressive or anxiety features the medication is trying to treat and also inhibit the effects of the medicine.
Combining marijuana with antidepressants can cause confusion and occasionally hallucinations or delusions. Combining alcohol with antidepressants can greatly increase the effects of alcohol, which can include suppressing respiration and death."
Now you know
Seriously? What will happen? (not that I'm guaging my risk, I'm curious)
Avoid it altogether as per the instructions.
