Can you drink with citalopram

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

You shouldn't, however a single drink will not effect you negatively.

Its best to work your way up slowly over a period of weeks if your wanting to drink a decent amount. It worked for me on 10mg

Answer 3

It is dangerous to drink alcohol whilst withdrawing from any drug, you would be flirting with dependance.
