Hey Link
How much of an interaction does alcohol cause with antidepressants? I had one night where I had several beers (5-6) over about a 3 hour period, and I felt noticeably more depressed the next day.. then a few days went by. Then last night, I had only one small beer but drank it fast, and I feel pretty darn down today. I am wondering if it's the alcohol interaction? If it interacts, how long does the interaction last, and how long would I expect for the medication to be metabolizing at its full capacity again? This is definitely a scary reminder.
Take care, happy holidays,
Charlie
