What happens when you are on paxil and drink alcohol?

Question

I've recently had some VERY bad experiences. Passed out in odd places and became belligerent, blacking out. This is very atypical. This is after drinking too much, but not enough that it would usually cause this kind of reaction. I may have a not drink at all.

I know people aren't supposed to drink on the drug. But it's not always that easy when there are special occasions and such, like New Years and Halloween when everyone is out partying. I want to have a social life and everyone I hang out with drinks on those occasions. I don't have much choice I guess. But what's done is done, are there long-term consequences for my body/mind?

Answer 1

No long-term consequences have been discovered YET, but you don't want to be the first, do you??

Go out, have fun, have a drink, but know your limit. It sounds like your limit is much lower on Paxil.

Answer 2

Anti-deppresents and alcohol are a very bad idea and paxil is one of the worst. Switching to Lexapro or Zoloft might be a good idea, but you should still not drink while taking them. The only exception to this rule would be if you have a drink before bedtime, but it's still not advised.

Answer 3

whilst did you word that? If it grew to become into six months in the past and you have been on the juice then I reckon it is okay. while you're purely now considering ingesting together as Paxilated then i'd say - do no longer.

Answer 4

most all medications, especially antidepressants are NOT to be taking if you consume alcohol. wouldnt passing out and blacking out and not remembering parts of your night scare you enough not to do it again?

Answer 5

you have to be very careful taking any antidepressants and drinking , it slows your heart rate and you could die.
