Hi,

I find i can drink a couple of glasses of wine and thats it! I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend and i had about 3 glasses and i was totally sloshed ! About 2 hours later i had the worst headache i've ever attributed to alcohol !
Luckily i graduated from university last Summer so i don't really do the excessive drinking thing anymore. Can't believe how much my friends and I used to drink ! Kinda miss being a student though, i think thats why I'm depressed. Anyway there's so much pressure to drink at uni and if you don't, everyone thinks you're boring, so I know how hard it can be !

So therefore i don't recommend knocking back the shooters until you know what you can handle! Also the next day you might feel pretty shitty cos it stops the Ad from being effective.

Anyway, good luck,
J

I'm a university student trying to maintain my typical social life. I enjoy a drink here and there especially with pub night every thursday. However, the drug co. recommends effexor XR not to be taken with alcohol. I was told that ads will heighten the effects of alcohol (easier to get drunk, harder hangovers etc, increases depression as it is a depressant itself) I also heard you can drink moderately on ads (2-3 drinks) or you can drink heavily and still not feel any of the effects of alcohol. Each scenario was told to me by a different doctor... and obviously conflict. I also heard the combination of the two can cause brain damage, but the source wasn't very credible. So what's up with the combo?

> I suffer from depression and GAD which turns into SA from trying to hide it. I can have fun without alcohol, but i do enjoy watching the game and having a few drinks. If anyone can offer any insight and/or experiences you've had with ads and alcohol i'd love to hear it. Afterall the Holliday Season is here... let the wassailing begin!!!
