I'm going to support the bull **** you don't want to here!. Been on Effexor for 14 years!. When I drink alcohol the depression sets in!. Alcohol is a strong depressant!. I have learnt that being on effexor what one person can drink ( 2 - 3) an evening, my body respond as if it is about 6 drinks!. Also, the drinking will bring out suicidal tenancies!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
so you want someone to tell you that it's dandy to keep doing that!?!?!?!? nobody will you freaking idiot, what you are going to do is take your effexor (which is to basically hellp with your mood aka "alter" it) and have a few beers until your mood is "altered" another way and then go to your doctor and complain that what he has given you to help with your mood doesn't work!.!.!.!.!.!. if you really want help with how you feel try not taking the effexor and not drinking, if that isn't the right thing then try effexor without beer, and get it figured out that way you retarded bastardWww@Answer-Health@Com
The information for prescriptions of Effexor (trade name venlafaxine) from its manufacturer says:
"Alcohol
Although venlafaxine has not been shown to increase the impairment of mental and motor skills
caused by alcohol, patients should be advised to avoid alcohol while taking venlafaxine!."
