> Everybody is different, so I won't recommend alcohol consumption while on a MAOI. However, I have a couple of drinks of whiskey on almost a nightly basis. This is while I was on Nardil for years and Parnate just recently. The alcohol relaxes me somewhat, but I don't even get a buzz from it. I wouldn't risk a half bottle of 80 proof alcohol. That is probably a little to risky, especially if you are using benzos with the MAOI.

>Yeah Im on half a bottle of 80% proof right now & feel good, dont get hang overs.... But yeah it quite possibly phucks up my sleep which wil phuck up my Depression, especially if done every night or second night.
I have a huge alcohole / benzo tollerance though,,, & its really hard staying off them when your meds arn't at 100%, I might try & ween myself off both soon.
