Different people react differently. I've gone out drinking on SSRI's but didn't have quite that many. One thing I noticed was that I got drunk faster. Other people have posted that the same thing happened to them so, if you do decide to drink, you may want to be a little careful about that.I didn't drink often but when I went out with friends I would sometimes decide to get drunk. For years I didn't really believe the claim that alcohol could make you more depressed but recently I've decided that, at least for me, it's true. I've noticed that for a few days afterwards I feel a bit worse. If you want to be safe you probably should skip the drinks. Otherwise you will just have to find out for yourself how it affects you.
