What would drinking while on antidepressants do to you?

Stay depressed: 1. Alcohol tends to maintain and worsen depression, so it will oppose the effect of the antidepressant. 2. Alcohol feels "stronger", so coordination, driving, etc, may be more impaired than expected. 3. The combination increases the risk of seizures. 4. Suicide risk is greatly increased if a depressed person drinks.

May be harmful: Mixing alcohol & some antidepressants may ^ risk of poorer concentration, dizziness, confusion, drowsiness, decreased motor coordination & impairment of judgment. Tyramine in diet (beer, wine, other alcoholic beverages)can cause significant adverse reaction if taking Monoamine Oxidase inhibitors.
