Best Answer

Yes. As early as 1993, research indicated the possible link between SSRI medications and violence towards self and others.

The link was disputed hotly by pharaceutical corporations, but in the last 12 years, it has been confirmed that there is an increased risk of violence towards self and others while taking SSRI medications.

What happens when you mix Prozac and alcohol?

It's not so much a matter of reaction as it is efficacy. Alcohol is a depressant and Prozac is an antidepressant. Excessive alcohol use/abuse counteracts the antidepressant effects of Prozac. Basically, it will not work as well, if at all. Also, when there is a reaction, individuals who are on Prozac and use alcohol can experience intoxication more easily and readily. As a result, poor impulsivity and judgment can occur.
