i am on a combination of zoloft and xanax and was wondering if it would be ok to have a few wine coolers?

Question

just like 2 or 3?

Answer 1

Yeah, sure, knock yourself out.

Answer 2

i don't thing drinking and Zoloft will bother you even though it tells you not to drink will taking anti-depressants. Xanax is a different story depending on the MG'S you are taking. I do know the affect with alcohol and xanax will get you to that feeling that you are looking for. Yes, with alcohol and xanax you will feel really relaxed. Again if depends on the milligrams you consume. Zoloft is worthless....Xanax, with alcohol will place you in the "twilight zone"

Answer 3

Depends on your weight. If you're of legal age & size it probably wouldn't cause severe problems. On the other hand, both of the drugs you listed are SSRI's with additional meds for anti-anxiety. You may want to make sure you are with friends who will not be easily upset by your actions and won't take advantage of you.
The bigger question is why you feel like you need even more substances to reduce inhibitions? You're trying to burn the candle at both ends, and generally that results in being burnt from all sides. It seems senseless to take anti-anxiety drugs, drink anti-anxiety drinks, then place yourself in a situation that could well lead to large amounts of anxiety in the aftermath.
There are usually alternatives to alcohol available at parties. You can catch a light buzz, drink flavored water, and avoid putting yourself into a situation that's just looking to get uglier.
Good luck

Answer 4

You should really ask the doctor who prescribed your medications this question. But, I will say this... combining alcohol with anti-depressants is kind of a cocktail for disaster. First of all, it will negatate the anti-depressant effects from your medicines. And the effects of alcohol that you get from one drink while on your drugs will be greatly magnified. You could do some really out of control things with that kind of a setup. Some people have quite negative reactions when mixing these drugs. On the following website, it says that mixing anti-depressants with alcohol is "potentially lethal". It's something that you should take into consideration.

Answer 5

It can be dangerous to mix alcohol and medication. The reason the pharmacy puts the warning labels on the bottle is because the alcohol will intensify the effect of the medication. One is plenty but if you still have questions you can always call the pharmacy and ask they are always a great resource and ready it help. Just tell them you have a question for the Pharmacist.

Answer 6

I would have 2 max and make sure to drink at least 1 glass of water for every wine cooler I had.

Answer 7

you really shouldn't drink ANY, but i don't think one or two would hurt you.. especially wine coolers, as they typically have a VERY low alcohol content. i most definitely would stay away from anything with a higher alcohol content. a glass of wine, a beer, a couple coolers probably wouldn't KILL you... (as long as you dont' do it all the time) but stay away from hard liquor! and be careful.. if you notice yourself feeling really funny.. stop drinking.. i'd make sure you ahve someone with you to, to make sure you don't have any weird interactions.

Answer 8

No NO NO, this could cause you to easily pass out lose consciousness etc. xanax can make you tired and mixing alcohol will only make things worse.

Answer 9

It depends on what your doctor told you. I would think one or two but you don't mention any other health issues so I would hate to say..Yes go get loaded if you have a bad liver already!

Answer 10

Not unless you wanted to end up like Anna Nicole Smith's son.

Answer 11

I wouldn't do it....

The least that can happen is your meds aren't going to be as effective....

The worst that can happen... well, I think the other posters spelled it out for you...

Just don't do it.
