Can you drink alcohol (in moderation) if you are taking faverin for ocd ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Drinking alcohol on fluvoxamine would be a bad idea that could make you suicidal, cause the fluvoxamine to stop working for up to 72 hours and throw you back into severe ocd with possible depression. Don't risk it!
