What Happens If You Take Antidepressants And Drink Alot Of Strong Alcohol Daily?
Nothing really bad will happen as long as he doesn’t have a driver’s license. If he does, then it is anyone’s guess. SSRI’s can have the effect of causing a problem drinker to become completely obsessed with alcohol and to be able to drink about three times as much as usual and still be conscious. Unfortunately, they are also very addictive and the negative side effects are the same as the side effects from what addiction specialists call PAWS or post acute withdrawl…agitation, tremor, sleep disturbances, anxiety, etc. The doctors will never see that he is having a reaction to the SSRI, they will blame it 100% on alcohol. However, the SSRI’s are addictive because they cause a similar reaction in the brain, like smoking pot and this tends to make the person very happy, maybe even high. It is unlikely that you can talk sense into a person under the influence of these drugs. Below is a link of what happened to me and others, so hopefully he does not drive. I am one of the lucky ones.
