I was on prozac for 8 years and could drink moderately without a problem. The first three of the years were during college and I found that I just had a hard time the next day. I have since changed medications and take effexor xr. I have found that I can only have about one drink a week or I will lapse into depression as if I was taking no medication at all. I have heard this extreme reaction only happens to a small percentage. I recommend starting with a drink at dinner and observe how you feel over the next couple of days. You may find that a moderate amount of alcohol has little to no effect on you.
