When I was taking prozac and would drink a beer I would become manic, almost a maniac. I totalled my truck, caused another serious accident, and yelled at a lady I had a minor fender bender with. I think Princess Di's chauffeur was on prozac and drinking just before that accident too. It's a very dangerous combination.
While I was on zoloft I had a seizure. Needless to say I don't take medications for social anxiety disorder anymore. Instead I'm using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Without meds ACT has allowed me to return to work, put up with family members, go to concerts again, and has generally helped in every aspect of my life. And ACT is cheap too, a $20 self-help workbook can turn your life around.

My mother takes depression medication and told me alcohol would cause her to have very painful headaches.
She doesnt drink at all but did once drink wine and suffered the headache.
I think alcohol doesnt mix with certain drugs not all and that mental health centers blindly have zero tolerance policy that is discriminatory against legal drug meaning alcohol.
I am not a substance abuser but because of mentioning seasonal drinking for xmas holiday I was kick out of a center and refered to a substance abuse program.
I am fighting it I believe my rights as a patient have been violated. I was also not given a tapering precription for klonopin and suffer chills and fainting feeling from with drawl.
