A member asked:
Can alcohol still make you depressed if you're already improving by taking anti-depressants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Etoh + meds: Are you taking antidepressant & alcohol together? Don't recommend that. Alcohol alone can lead to significant depressive symptoms. Please have a candid talk with your prescribing provider.
