Alcohol and antidepressants

Had an awful experience recently and wondered how common this is. I’m on quite a high dose of antidepressants, have been for about 4 months.

Have had the odd glass of wine, over Christmas and new year, but no “big nights out” until a couple of weeks ago.

I got very drunk very quickly, was virtually unable to walk unaided, woke up with no memory of the night at all and covered in bruises Blush

I don’t think I realised how this much alcohol might have affected me (I know, I know, lesson well and truly learned). I k kw it was so stupid and irresponsible to make myself so vulnerable.

Has anyone had this happen to them? I still felt ill a week later which I think may be due to the alcohol stopping the medication working properly.

Which antidepressants? Some are worse than others for mixing with alcohol.

Fluoxetine

I feel drunk more quickly on antidepressants. I'm taking 100mg of sertraline at the moment and can only drink about half of what I could before I was on it before feeling quite drunk.
