A Matter of Trust: If you trust your doctor, I would follow the advice given. All antidepressant labels say to not drink alcohol, and for good reason--alcohol can really mess up the doctor's picture of what is going on with the patient. That being said, if the doctor trusts you, and you trust the doctor, then I would recommend you follow the prescribed plan.
