Anti depresants?!?!?!


Question: Anti depresants!?!!?!!?
is it not too simple to say alcohol cancels out what they do, the effects of alcohol and anti depresants are not really unknown, it could make them more potent or less potent!. i am not condoning drinking with them but when people sat it stops them working isnt that wrong, the human brain is complex and to say they are canceled out is just not right!.

also if you take the anti depresants during the day and drink on ocasioions in the evening will that be better than drinking and taking them in the evening, e!.g!. if i want to drink on ocasions i should make myself take the AD during the day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It totally depends on the anti-depressant!. For example, Lexapro is safe to combine with moderate amounts of alcohol, but Prozac is a big no-no!.

And yes, you are correct!. The human brain is complex and drinking alcohol does not always mean it will make the med stop working!.

It is definitely more safe to take the AD during the morning if you plan to drink in the evening!. BUT- it all depends on the anti-depressant!. Some are 100% safe with alcohol, and some are not!. Ask your prescriber if the drug you are taking is safe to combine with moderate amounts of alcohol!.

I 100% DISAGREE with Cavorim!. That is simply not true!. I don't know where she got her information from!. !?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Latest studies conducted by the drug comapnies themselves indicate that anti-depressants don't work anyway with or without alcohol!. Chemical inbalance has now been removed as a diagnosis because it was never real just a marketing tool used by drug companies to promote their very ineffective drugs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i always take mine at night and do not think it makes any difference!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
