How do you guys who are on meds get away with drinking so much? I've been told I mustn't drink (or smoke) on the antidepressants and the strong antihistamines that I'm on. Not that I do drink or smoke anyway, but I don't want to risk drinking even if I wanted to.
On my box of olanzapine it says do not drink alcohol. I looked it up on the NHS website and it says alcohol may make you sleepy and lessen the effect of the meds but it's not dangerous as such.
Alcohol is a depressant so may lessen the effect of anti depressants. (I'm on fluoxetine - Prozac) but it's not dangerous to drink as such.
