Hello,
I was prescribed Cipralex today for my depression and anxiety. My doctor wants me to take 5mg for 4 days then move on to taking the whole pill (10mg) after the 4 days is up. However, I have a Christmas party this weekend and was planning on having a few drinks to calm my nerves. I have never had a drinking problem but I usually go out with friends every weekend and have a few drinks. Is is safe for me to drink while starting anti depressants? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks guys
