I'm a university student trying to maintain my typical social life. I enjoy a drink here and there especially with pub night every thursday. However, the drug co. recommends effexor XR not to be taken with alcohol. I was told that ads will heighten the effects of alcohol (easier to get drunk, harder hangovers etc, increases depression as it is a depressant itself) I also heard you can drink moderately on ads (2-3 drinks) or you can drink heavily and still not feel any of the effects of alcohol. Each scenario was told to me by a different doctor... and obviously conflict. I also heard the combination of the two can cause brain damage, but the source wasn't very credible. So what's up with the combo?
I suffer from depression and GAD which turns into SA from trying to hide it. I can have fun without alcohol, but i do enjoy watching the game and having a few drinks. If anyone can offer any insight and/or experiences you've had with ads and alcohol i'd love to hear it. Afterall the Holliday Season is here... let the wassailing begin!!!
