I think just about all psyciatric meds say not to drink alcohol while taking it. Some times just because it will add to the effect of sedation. Or it mite lower its effectiveness. But the important one is if it effects your liver and you drink with it, it could cause liver damage. You'll have to read the Prescribing info on Tianeptine and find out why its bad. If it says that Tianeptine can impare liver function and you should monitor liver function. Then it not a good idea to drink alcohol at the same time you take your med. Maybe waiting a couple hours would be better. Atleast thats what I do with niaspan. If I drink at same time as med my liver enzimes get high. If I wait 2 hours to drink no problems.
