I know that the drug/alcohol addict would have a heart failure in the future, but I mean what sort of problems with his/her health would he/she suffer from by experimenting with, oh say, antidepressants and beer?

In a long run antidepressant combined to alcohol could bring severe damage to your body. Some of this are schizophrenia,anxiety, depression, panic attacks, hypertensive crisis, decreased libido and many more. Antidepressants has many adverse effects that are controllable if and only if in proper use of drugs is abided. Alcohol can give you cirrhosis of the liver in which your liver atrophies.
So if you love your life, please stop experimenting drugs and alcohol.

It would depend on how much antidepressants and how much beer. Was this abused? If the antidepressant was prescribed and taken as recommended...and the person only had a few beers here and there...probably no "health damage" was done. Keep in mind, however, alcohol IS an antidepressant and does the opposite of what one hopes to accomplish by taking antidepressants. They are prescribed to fight depression. Alcohol contributes to depression. If either is taken in excess....as in "abused"...the first to be affected would be the liver. It's also debated that viable brain cells could be permanently destroyed by alcohol abuse. A person who is NOT prescribed antidepressants and takes them are messing with their brain hormones and can cause lots of psyche problems while under the influence of a drug that they were not prescribed and invariably COULD cause one to end up being a depressed patient. Moral of the story: Take only what is prescribed and as prescribed. Limit alcohol to 1 or 2 beverages on a saturday or a friday night.

Every school has this problem -- it is a SAD Reality nowadays. ASK any parent ... especially those who are actually involved in their childrens' lives and want to be RESPONSIBLE and caring towards them. I know this struggle -- especially since teens seem to be so ... oh, how do I say it .. oblivious ... not realizing the risks, not seeing past the moment ... and ... There are so many things that cause a PARENT to worry (believe me -- I've seen a LOT at my own childrens' High School (and it was only a few years ago)) ... when I would come to pick them up for Medical Appointments ... I had to go to the office and sign them out. I walked past (openly sexual behavior in the halls during CLASS periods) .. saw 'trash' on the ground (that definitely looked like ... NOT cigarettes (although that was there too)) ... saw 'brown paper bagged' bottles in the Trash bins (and we are not talking Coca-Cola here) ... etc etc etc. It SCARED me ... I was ALWAYS a responsible parent .. and I did NOT approve of the choices these OTHERS were making. There was so much PEER Pressure (between the kids) .. that it was a horror -- and as a SINGLE PARENT -- that was something I FOUGHT each and every day. Believe me .. the RESPONSIBLE Parents know this ... (you know -- the ones that actually GO to school, are volunteers, and involved in their childrens' lives) ... Just open your eyes, and SEE what is going on. SOMETIMES it is better when you do NOT observe too much .. because LIFE is scary indeed.

experimenting as in a one time thing and being and addict are two different things all together. but anytime you mix drugs and alcohol you risk the chance of instant death. if you continue to use one or both of these it will affect your memory your kidney liver and brain. it will also affect your everyday life. because it will cause you to be depressed. and miserable.
people think these things are ok because sometimes you dont see an instant harmful effect but it is a slow thing and it will catch you . trust me i know i live with a man who is an alcoholic and a druggie. and i have seen him just now start to go down hill very fast he has went from a man who loved to work to a man who cant keep a job. from a man i could depend on to fix anything and even build me a house to a man who i cant get to mow the yard or fix a leaking sink. he acts worse then a child sometimes. and we can have a long conversation about something and he wont even remember it. he has been doing this experiment as you call it for over 25yrs but it has now caught him. good luck...

well beer is a depressant and obviously it acts counter to the antidepressant.. as with any drug and alcohol it is dangerous to mix them..so don't.. if you suffer from depression it is usually caused by a chemical inbalance..it is corrected with some sort of mild drug that helps you stay relaxed.. beer is mild and so are most antidepressants.. you should be okay.. but don't push the envelope.. now if you just have to have a beer (which is something that I do, at times) well then go have a beer..just don't go overboard and give youself some room.. read the drug label or look it up on line.. use your head..you have a long way to go..don't shorten it..

You wouldnt really know until you got the toxins out of your body.And started a overall better health regimen.
Diet (whole foods) and exercise(cardio and weight training).
First of all the diet will cleanse and detox and get your Brain and Body chemicals rolling in the right direction again.
Exercise will not only make you stronger but your dexterity in your brain signals your muscles and tendons to relearn how valuable each major muscle group is and then stretching will further tie in all those muscle (elastic bands)that bring in all the nutrients and oxygen.and take out all the lactic acids and toxins your body don't need.
Remember any health problems didn't happen over nite.
Good Luck!

How long have you been "experimenting with anti-depresents and beer"? Long term could have some mental health effects, and depending on the possible side-effects from the medication alcohol could cause those problems to be more likely or more seaver.

Alcohol and anti depressants could cause health problems in the future. Alcohol can cause liver problems, and the inability to deal with personal problems in life as they develop. If your drinking is excessive, I suggest you contact AA. It has helped many. for encouragement, listen to ttb.org.
