The interaction between many medications and alcohol can lead to a significant increase in one's risk of illness, injury, or even death. When certain medications and alcohol compete in the body for absorption, the potency of the medication and/or alcohol is often increased. There is no set formula for what will happen when an individual consumes both alcohol and a medication. Each person is different, and the results of this type of potentially fatal cocktail vary based on the type and quantity of medication and alcohol ingested, the time frame involved, the individual's tolerance to both the medication and to alcohol, as well as a series of unpredictable, unique factors. To be safe, never mix alcohol with any type of medication, whether prescription or over-the-counter, before first checking with a licensed health care professional.

which could be very exciting. i imagine you need to do some thing like marijuana or alcohol, as those 2 are extra conveniently availble to human beings and the most huge-spread. you need to actual coach basically how undesirable each and each is for the mind, fantastically marijuana. Im extremely antagonistic to marijuana because human beings dont understand how undesirable that is, and they could finally end up being psychologically addicted, undeserving, depressed,dumber, severe lung damage and uninteresting. Alcohol is a few thing that's abused badly, i imagine in case you write a good record and heavily practice human beings on how they could drink responsibily and under no circumstances make fools of themselves or get into risky circumstances you need to ward off destiny addictions/complications!

Alcohol is a depressant and the antidepressant will not work at all if he's consuming alcohol.
In general, you should not mix alcohol with any medication.
Some specific antidepressants when mixed with alcohol can cause or speed up liver damage. Cymbalta is one of them.

alcohol is a depressant, so if he does not want to be depressed, its probably a very good idea to mix in some antidepressants. you may want to suggest to him that methamphetamine is one of the best antidepressants there is, so long as you dont run out.

a good idea in what way? it will intensify the affects of the alcohol and the anti-depressants, but may also allow him to escape from wallowing in self-pity quicker

no honey it is not a good idea...i have had several friends die from doing this. if there is parents or something you can go talk to if they don't listen, do it. they may get mad, but at least they'll be alive. good luck!!

oh yes, im telling you dont you take that,, alcohol is contraindicated to any antidepressant, so if you take it, it will make things worst for you. and right, you may die if you take it.
