In reply to Celexa and Alcohol, posted by Mike on December 3, 1998, at 16:24:01
> I was just prescribed Celexa and its my first experience with antidepressants. I asked about interactions with alcohol and my psychiatrist just kinda gave me a "be careful--take it easy" comment. With the holidays coming up, I'll be in some partying situations, and I'm curious if having a few drinks is a problem. I looked at the FDA web-site and found that it said not to drink at all. Whats the deal?
In response to this, I am currently on 30mg of Celexa in the morning and 300mg of seroquel in the evenings. Three times I got drunk and tried to kill myself. The most recent time I ran into the bathroom and started cutting myself. I cut my finger accidentaly but severely. The alcohol had clouded my judgement I could not even tell how deep I was cutting myself. If my boyfriend had not have found me in the bathroom I probably would have bled to death without even realizing it. I have since stopped drinking. Something like this may not happen to you...but why risk it?
