When my doctor perscribed Effexor he asked if I drink. I told him I usually have a couple glasses of wine on Friday and Saturday. He said that was OK. I have not noticed any increase in it's effect. What I did notice was that the wine I always choose tasted slightly different.
A few years a go I was on Prozac. I was told not to drink, but I did occasionally. When I did I was basically drunk after two drinks. I had to limit myself to one drink and I would feel depressed the next day and very tired.
> Do you mean you have the desire to drink alcohol? It is unwise to drink with an antidepressant. There is one that it doesn't interact with but effexor isn't it. My dr. was telling me that it is like drinking twice as many drinks as you have. I have pretty much stopped drinking and never, absolutely never, have a drink and drive, not even one glass of wine.
