Alcohol and Prozac/Fluoxetine

I want to drink tonight with my friends but havent since taking my anti-depressants. I wanted to know your experiences of drinking with Prozac. Im not going to drink much - just 1 smirnoff ice. Do you think I will be ok? I heared that it can make you tired but thats all I know. I really want to be able to drink - I know I dont HAVE to to have a good time - but even so I want to lead a normal life

It's not recommended because it might make you drunk quicker (and because alcohol is, itself, a depressant), but to be honest one Smirnoff Ice is a tiny amount of alcohol...

I wouldnt recommend it no, but Id be lying if i said i hadnt done it myself and seen many others do the same! You arent planning to go overboard, if you do have one let someone know to keep an eye on you.

If you get drunk then you'll probably start crying and attempting suicide. Well that's my experience anyway.

To be honest I don't think it's worth it. Alcohol is a depressant and your mental health is so much more important. Being a non-drinker isn't so hard.

The last girl I knew to partake of alcohol in conjunction with anti-depressant medication, ended up getting off with me.

So, yeah; don't.

read the info that comes with the prozac. i used to drink on it and was ok. one smirnoff is really not a lot so you will probably be fine. talk to doc if you have doubts tho.

i doubt it would have that much of an effect, really, excpet you get drunk on a bit less.
*disclaimer* consult a proper source though

from my experience, i got realy wasted, i had about 8 snakebites. and on the contray to what i thought would happen, i had a great night! but one word of warning, towards the end of the night, i had realy difficulty in swallowing, but it only lasted about 30 mins.
