Can i mixe my depression drug with a glass of wine ?

VERY RISKY: Antidepressant medication changes the brain's response to alcohol and makes it dangerous to combine. I do not recommend it.

Possibly: One glass of wine is likely not going to interfere with your antidepressant. However, alcohol can lead to depression, anxiety, poor sleep and many other problems. Be sure to let your doctor know how much you are drinking while on meds. Are you able to have just one glass?
