A member asked:
Can you give me advice? i have been taking prozac (fluoxetine) for about two months, and that alcohol makes prozac (fluoxetine) less effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alcohol: Alcohol is a no no with psychiatric medications for the most part. It does make it less effective. Alcohol is a depressant so it can worsen depression. Alcohol is always stronger then the medicine.
