Can you drink alcohol whilst taking fluoxetine (prozac) tablets? if not, why?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

I know of no reason why not. I've been taking fluoxetine 40 mgs for several years, and I still drink, and, occasionally get drunk. I can't tell any difference in the experience between now and when I didn't take the prozac. Of course, don't drink and drive, and, as always, your mileage may vary since we are all different.

Answer 2

yes, it could make you either super hyper or super depressed, it all depends on the person. In both cases it can get annoying for the people around you.

Answer 3

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. First, a chemical reaction can occur between the medication and alcohol that can impair your driving abilities. Second, alcohol is a depressant and it countereffects the medication, so you will probably feel very bad the next day.

Answer 6

as a general rule: prescription meds + alcomohol = bad.

Don't be asking this kind of advice here, cause although we might be able to help, this is really a question for a trained medical professional.

I am not saying don't post, just that you should consult a doctor on this one :-)
