Colin,I have found all SSRI meds to make me feel like I am smoking grass. What you describe sounds like a mild psychedelic + alcohol = no inhibition! I have been off Celexa for almost two weeks now and I miss the stuff because of that (only that -however). My brother-in-law, who has always been a big grouch all of his life, started Zoloft about a year ago. Now, when I talk to him he is constantly cutting up and telling me jokes-nonstop.
