Two years ago, while I was on 60mg/day of prozac; one night I drank alcohol just after taking my third pill of the day, on empty stomach.
I was OK for one or two hours, but when I came home and laid down to sleep, I began to laugh out loud by myself, had a warm euphoric sensation in my body and a massive abdominal twitching sensation. (I had those twitches all the time while I was on Prozac, only not that strong)
Had anyone experienced something like that?
Also, today I read that only 1mg of fluoxetine was enough to totally inhibit the 5-HT reuptake. Since 20 fold of this dose is required to get a response, the antidepressant effect of fluoxetine seems to be related to some other mechanism than 5-HT reuptake inhibition. (the author's opinion, not mine)
Do we know anything new about the fluoxetine pharmacology?many thanks,
cem
