Hey There,
Thank you for responding. I myself have encountered similar reactions while drinking on a med.....that is, that my anxiety/depression medication does not seem affeted by acute intoxication. Mild social drinking seems to be okay.
I guess I posted my question/Discussion because so many people here on psychobable strongly feel alcohol destroys SSRIS/SNRI's effectiveness (and who knows, perhaps it does). Although I do not recommend "drinking alcohol" on a Med, I guess I wished to illustrate that those of us who do find ourselves in social drinking situations, may not suffer the "dire consequence" of an ineffective medication (due to alcohol contamination).
Best wishes,
Violet
