A member asked:
I was on 10 mg of prozac for 8 months and stopped 6 days ago. i avoided alcohol the entire time but now i'm looking forward to being able to have a drink again. after how long will it be safe for me to do so?

Effects of Prozac won't be fully out of your system for a month. It's best to hold off that long before drinking alcohol in order to avoid drowsiness, driving difficulties, concentration issues.
