> I drank while taking all my meds, including MAOIs, benzos and antipsychotics, with no serious problems. At times I think there are some who feel overindulgence and hangover necessitate a visit to the ER. I then imagine the doctors and nurses in ER over-react when they discover their patient is taking psych meds and exaggerate any potential danger the said person may have been in to act as a deterrent.

> QI am in total agreement. A glass of wine makes me feel calm, giggly and happy! I only get depressed when I get really drunk.. Then I cry at the drop of a hat; which is to be expected considering I have just consumed a large dose of a DEPRESSANT.
I don't really have hangovers, (except benzo withdrawl.. I DO NOT take my xanax when I drink...)
But the benzo withdrawl goes away when I take my morning dose of Xanax.Thanks for the response!
