While I have been a weekend drinker for 30 years, it wasn't I started taking Effexor that drinking nearly destroyed me. I ended up in a hospital from an overdose of alcohol and Xanax a few weeks after beginning to take Effexor. I don't remember a thing about it. This effect has not occurred again since I have stopped Effexor. Yes, I absolutely craved alcohol while taking the drug. I stopped it after less than three months. I'm now back to my usual weekend beer-sampling pattern.
