i haven't had an alcoholic drink to almost 6 months I have anxiety and depression my meds are 40 mg seroxat all the advice I've read is not to drink, I taken this medication 5 years ago 20 mg and I was able to have a couple of drinks and I was OK but I had depression not anxiety then How do any of you get on with alcohol and meds?
Alkohol ist bei Medikamenten nicht empfehlenswert, aber Menschen tun es trotzdem.
Alkohol ist ein Stimulans und hilft Ihrer Angst oder Depression nicht.

I think it depends on how much you drink and your own response to alcohol. Drinking made me anxiety free at the moment I was drinking, so I drank too much too often. The down side was the next day when I felt even lower and extremely anxious - what's the cure for this - drink again!! I think if you have a healthy relationship with alcohol and drink moderately and socially you should be ok. For people with a vulnerability to alcohol it's a nightmare and just makes things worse. If you regularly drink you won't feel the effects of the medicine though. Good luck!
Thank you Sara I was never a big drinker just a beer and couple glasses of wine would be great but I'm so low and anxious I'm scared how I would feel next day after one drink. I appreciate your reply
Thank you Im clutching at straws to be normal I know I shouldn't drink I feel so awful all the time I often think it would be nice to relax with one glass of wine but I could feel a worse next day that would be realy hard to cope with.
Ja, das war mein Problem. Ich fühlte mich damals großartig, aber am nächsten Tag war meine Angst durch die Decke gegangen und es fühlte sich an, als hätte ich drei oder vier Tage lang einen Kater, selbst wenn ich nur ein oder zwei Gläser Wein getrunken hatte.
Aber jeder ist anders.

Xanax ist gut gegen Angstzustände.
Hi Peac I do have the odd big night a 6 pack or bottle of wine and I'm fine next day. I always have been and yes I know you shouldn't. It may be my AD ad it seems a bit different to most. I am by no means saying do it but a glass or even half every now and then will be fine. Any strange feelings call hospital straight away and tell them stupid woman on line said it would be O K xxx
I would strongly advise against excessive drinking...that's just common sense...maybe 2 or 3 glasses of wine or a couple beers but be careful
