SSRIs and alcohol

Post a new topicby Guest on Fri Apr 19, 2002 10:33 pm

Dr.,

I asked my GP the other day about drinking wine while on Celexa (I collect it as a hobby). He told me there shouldn't be an interaction, just not to overdo it. When I was reading the package insert it seemed to say that no interaction had been proven, but to avoid alcohol anyway. Is it safe to continue to enjoy my wine while on Celexa (I have been doing it so far with no ill effect, but do not want to risk damage that may not be evident immediately)? Why would the manufacturer state that no interation had been proven, but then recommend not to drink anyway? Thanks as always.

I agree with your GP. Manufacturers worry about liability and will make statements to protect themselves from suit even when there is little evidence to support a suit.
