Paxil And Alcohol: Liver Damage?

Posted by fenway5150 on April 12, 2006, at 18:36:59

Sorry if this is a double post but I'm not sure the first one went through.....

My girlfriend's sister is taking classes to become a psychiatrist and she was told in one of her classes that drinking alcohol while on Paxil is dangerous to the liver. My pharmacist said that I should be careful when it comes to drinking while on any SSRI. A glass of wine or a beer is fine but I should use good judgement.

I've been on Paxil for 9 years now and never heard anything about this. I have gone out most weekends and had 3 or 4 beers and on a few occasions more. It would have been nice for my doctor to have told me this.

Anyone else here know more about this? Do I have to worry every time I have a beer?

Hence I quit drinking while on meds which leads to a very boring life. Love Phillipa

Quite a statement from a woman who has kept a "personal file" on my son who comes from an extremely prominate family to include his personal phone # and "EVEN" openly discussed his problems on this web-site TO include his meds. And YOU ARE A professional RN? You are formally advised that he will not be back. I highly recommend that you get Dr BOB ON THE PHONE.

i am a little suprised your pdoc never mentioned it. mine always told me about risks with alcohol (most drugs have warrnings with it).
but wanted to tell you that you may want to post this on meds board (reg. psycho-babble) you most likely will get better response there. this board typically deals with therapy/therpists and such. i'd redirect you but i don't know how. so you may just want to retype the message.
