Best Answer

A prednisolone burst and taper (e.g. Medrol dose pak), for treatment of an allergic reaction or respiratory illness, is reasonable to take with any antidepressant - on a short term basis. The risk of long-term steroid use is that of depression, Cushing's syndrome and quite a few other side effects.

In the short-term, therapeutic steroid use with antidepressants is generally well-tolerated. However, if increased anxiety or depression (or any psychotic features such as paranoia, hallucinations) occur, then notifying the prescribing physician, as soon as possible, is of the utmost importance.

Can you drink alcohol on prednisolone tablets?

You should never consume alcohol while taking any form of medication. Alcohol can slow down the heart rate, hence slowing the speed of blood circulation around your body. This will prevent the medication from effectively being transported around your body before it wears off. Alcohol can also sometimes cause nausea. If you are sick, your medication (if it is oral) will most likely be sicked out. Some medications are cancelled out by alcohol, while others cause overdoses. See your doctor for clearer advice on the matter.
