Oddly enough, many anti depressants warn that they could in fact make depression work. Sometimes it's a long, wait and see process. Your best bet is to talk to your doctor about which drug they think will work best for you.

Will getting drunk twice a week affect a mild case of depression?

First of all everyone is different but getting drunk even once a week can add to some ones depression. Alcohol is a depressant and the day after drinking people are often more depressed. Chronic drinkers are often depressed much of the time. When someone is depressed and a drinker it can often be difficult to tease out which came first. Some Psychiatrists don't believe in giving alcoholics and drug addicts antidepressants until they have some sobriety under their belts. I disagree with this approach and believe that antidepressants help those who their depression is caused by alcohol and drug use.


Alcohol is classified as what drug?

Health class! Sorry, couldn't resist. It's a Central Nervous System depressant. CNS as in "brain and nerves," depressant as in "slows and suppresses." Drink too much and it depresses your breathing and heartbeat too much; you die. Some people drink alcohol to feel happy, but even if you love the feeling at the time, you feel better then only because it disconnects your energy bodies from your physical body so you lose touch with your feelings and rational thought. Overall, however, alcohol will bring your mood down. Partly because you'll be poisoned (literally) the next morning from the toxic alcohol and the formaldehyde (yeah, what it splits into in your blood stream is the lethal form of alcohol and the stinking chemical they preserve dead body parts in.) If you drank enough to feel tipsy or drunk, add in the dehydration and headache, the embarrassment of what you said and did, the consequences to your relationships and/or your car, and... You thought alcohol was a pick-me-up? Nope. Definitely a CNS depressant!

Can you drink with citalopram?

It is never a good idea to combine medication with alcohol... Add-on: Especially Paxil. Paxil is a psychotropic drug (specifically an SSRI, or selective seritonin re-uptake inhibitor). Used for treating depression, panic disorders and OCD, it works on the assumption that other neurotransmitters are stable. Alcohol is a systemic depressant, which also causes fluctuation (specifically, depression of) neurotransmission and the neurotransmitters seritonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. Side effects of using alcohol with paxil can range from exacerbation of OCD or depressive symptoms to onset of panic attack, as well as suicidal ideation or thinking.
