I've searched the archives for topics on this but found conflicting views and no real studies or evidence. I'm quite curious as to how much the consumption of alcohol interferes with the action of antidepressants. I've tried many meds in the past and haven't had success. (for depression) But during those time periods I drank heavily atleast once a week, and probably had 2-3 drinks on another night. So some alcohol one night, and a large amount on another night, each week. I wonder if that rendered many of those drugs ineffective? I'm not messing with the alcohol now, because I'm taking an MAOI- even in small amounts. I want to try to not drink at all, atleast for the first month or two on Parnate. But this is a controversial subject and I'm wondering if anybody can provide any studies, educated opinions, ect.
thanks.
