you know I am the same way with my SSRI (Lexapro)and alcohol in that i feel LESS drunk now when i drink than i ever did...but it takes a loooong time to get over a night out...and the exhaustion can help bring on panic attacks/depression symptoms..so its good to avoid alcohol as much as possible..a drink or two is ok but from my experience drinking too much on SSRI makes for a rough next couple days and its not worth it...
> You know it's funny...I feel like I get less drunk and disorderly, which is interesting to me. My family is a long line of alcoholics and typically I am a crazy (fun and a bit wild) drunk. I was, at least, in high school and college. Over the past 10 years I have been pretty mellow and during the past two years I had no alcohol at all. So that is my concern, why now, when on paxil I should be calm, am I seeking out alcohol? It's so weird.
