> I was wondering what the effects are of drinking while on Effexor. Although I only drink occasionally, I'm wondering if I should do it at all. Any experiences, facts or suggestions would be appreciated.
To all concerned, first the effectiveness of the drug is not at all changed by the consumption of alcohol... In any case, the general consensus is that it does seem to make one more likely to get drunk on a smaller qty of alcohol...
I had problems w/ it when i started because i couldnt curb my drinking, and i went through a little 'rage' phase... I dont think that having a glass of wine or a few beers is going to hurt anyone, but of course, if you don't feel comfortable with the drug, give yourself a few weeks to adjust to it, then start drinking...
But, Id say that effexor + 1/2 beers or glass of wine is perfectly fine...
