zoloft and beer

I've been on Zoloft since may 2013 and my psychiatrist says a glass every now and then shouldn't do any harm. Getting trashed will lol I've always been fine even with a couple of wine glasses so don't worry so much if its just a beer. Then again, everyone's v different so I don't wana giv u the wrong advice.

5 mg of clonazepam (klonopin) three times a day (1.5 mg total per day) and 200 mg sertraline (zoloft) once a day for the past three years for an panic/anxiety disorder. In this time I have avoided alcoholic beverages completely, and as you can imagine being a 20 year old to 23 year old and not drinking is no easy task. But frankly, I would occasionally like to be able to have a drink or two with friends. I go out to bars, and always order a club soda, but i'd like to get a beer.

last time I was on Zoloft it saved my life, now with the new panic attacks coming have been considering zoloft again. as for Alcohol. I would say NO, I look at it this was if we have a problem and go to hospital we don;t ask for a beer or a mixed drink, so why even consider alcohol at this time, while we work on ourselves.

i am 19 years old and i take 50 mg of zoloft per day. i usually drink lightly , but lately ive been drinking heavily to help me cope with my brothers death. i have noticed that every time i drink i get drunk faster than i use to , and the hangovers are much worst, i have also been feeling slow and out of it . im wondering if this is normal and if it will wear off ?

From personal experience i can tell you I drank on zoloft quite often and was fine. Now, everyone is different and you need to be careful but drinking in moderation will not kill you. But with anxiety issues, you should avoid alcohol. I know it is tough. I am 33 and i avoid it when people hand be a drink and it can be difficult. Good luck to you.

He also upped my Zoloft to 200 mg ( max dose). I am not real happy with that as years ago I was on Zoloft and topped out, over some years, and eventually was switched to Celexa. Now, it has been a year and I am back at the max dose. I go see him in 2 weeks and we are going to discuss other options....

Hopefully they can get to the bottom of all of this. I try to convince him to wean off of all of the pills and beer but he says that I am "nagging him" and he threatens me with divorce!!! So, maybe the doctor can convince him.

I was on Lexapro for a long time and never had issues with moderate alcohol consumption. I now take Zoloft and feel dizzy and panicky with one beer, so no alcohol for me on Zoloft. Perhaps the combo of drugs you're on doesn't mix well with alcohol. Are you to stay on both drugs long term or will you wean off amtriptyline and just take Lexapro?

I didn't get alcohol poisoning from HALF A BEER and who said anything about stopping antidepressants? Zoloft gave me my life back, I don't care about drinking I just wondered why I seem to have developed an alcohol intolerance. Seriously these replies are making it look like I want to just get wasted every day for the rest of my life... no.

i would recommend you to see a doctor at first place . and stop taking any medication and also the beer etc..

m am having winter time bout of Anxiety, this time it seems to be in the form of the shakes and dizziness. I started on Zoloft, 25mg 21 days ago. In the past it worked great to treat my anxiety. Even so my shakes continue, nearly all day. Sometimes I have difficulty writing & talking. I try not to dwell on it or it can make me very anxious, I just keep waiting for it to go away. I have completely quit drinking coffee and cut way back on sugar hoping to remedy this.

hi, im an 18 year old male and i was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder and depersonalization. I feel very depressed and was wondering if i should give the meds a try? right now all i do is drink beer and stay in my room. I had a job at a liquor store but i got fired and they didn't tell me why, and i also lost my first love and after all that happened i turned to alcohol.

Thanks. I have and I've been put on a low dosage of Zoloft. I'm angry that I'm putting this in my body which can hurt my baby, all because I can't pull myself together and act like an adult. It's not really having any positive or negative effect so far. Thanks though. I guess there are no real solutions other than patience, exercise and in my case, prayer. Thanks for letting me vent, it helps!

t know how old you are or what your physical condition is, so this advice may or may not be appropriate, BUT, you should get exercise during this period. It will take the edge off and help you detox and sleep. You should also keep busy during the time of day that you usually drink. Plan ahead for this time of day. I found that sparkling water is a good way to drink something "fizzy" without the sugar or caffine or other junk that you find in pop.

i took zoloft a year ago for anxiety. I was on zoloft for almost a year and it just made me feel emotionally numb and i really didn't feel like myself on it, more like a zombie. I felt trapped in my own mind and just wanted to escape and feel like myself again. 7 months later after stopping it and i still feel slightly different.

All along suffering with GAD, depression and PAWS symptoms after I stopped. Started Zoloft for these symptoms. Two weeks on Zoloft do not feel any real change.Do not feel like myself without my beers.I hate to say it but sobriety has been hell. Even if you have the desire to get sober it doesn't mean you are going to feel good if you stop. In my case I had hidden pscological conditions. Still feel like ****. Can't concentrate very rigid and tired going through my days. Tried AA.

I am a 34 yr old male, I am taking atenelol 25 mg twice a day, Androgel 1.62 % one pump per day and 12 mg of zoloft once a day i am starting back on my zoloft, I am 210 lbs 5'7" i use to weigh 265 lbs and i lost the weight in a year, i use dip tobbacco, i drink one beer a day, i drink alot of sweet tea,water and an occasional frappaccino or coffee, no sodas. im mostly stressed out and i have anxious symptoms i rarely get the flutter in my chest and racing heartbeat anymore.

Wine is only okay after your baby is fully developed in the last month not, "here and there" and beer is not okay. I crave beer all the time but I wouldn't drink a small one I mean what's the point you're not gonna get drunk nor buzzed and it'll just go straight to the baby.

I made my hubby go and buy a red bull the other day cos I really craved it i you'd him to drink it but to leave me a mouthful in the bottom..

Well I asked my Dr and he said I beer or glass of wine a week in the first is fine and second trimester 2 a week and third you can have one glass of wine with dinner whenever... I went by those rules last pregnancy and my son is just fine but I know people freak out about all kinds of things so idk... It's up to you..

I have been having really bad anxiety on and off. The Dr. gave me Zoloft and it seems to have helped with my anxiety. But as it is I have a very hard time getting restful sleep. When I do sleep I have ongoing dreams and my mind doesn't get any rest. Now with the Zoloft my sleep is much less restful. Any suggestions?

Yes beer does help with milk supply they talked about it in my breast feeding class

I hate to be the party pooper, but you are both 30+ years old and you're discussing having panic attacks from drinking.......have either of you considered getting into therapy to find the root cause of your panic, which, apparently, is triggered by alcohol for both of you? My advice..........either don't drink and avoid those pesky panic attacks, or seek the cause, and most likely the cure, with therapy.

My doc actually told me I could have a lite beer a few times a week to help constipation. I don't think it'll hurt anything by having that.

Do you know anyone who gets drunk and blacks out etc. after one beer? Sounds to me like a mental health issue- paranoia or OCD - which is making you question a safe encounter. If you continue to have these concerns, your best bet is to take them up with a mental health professional. Your concerns are beyond the scope of help that an HIV forum can provide.

Now my doc has me on Gaviscon (OH MY GOSH IS THAT BAD) plus Reglan at night which makes your stomach go crazy so if I take the norco it helps for a couple of hours after that a couple more norco in the afternoon and my stomach feels upset for about 6 hours it drives you crazy when you go to the doctor and they just double up on your meds and it doesnt help. Dont know what to do.

okay, so when I drink any type of Budweiser products my throat closes up and my uvula expands to twice if not three times its normal size... When I first drink the beer I break out in hives and then in the morning the throat things happen.. I just want to know what is causing it because one Smirnoff ice was enough to put me in the er... I am abroad right now so its hard to just go see a doctor.

Hi, I have regular bouts of what I assume to be heartburn: discomfort behind the lower half of my sternum. It only really bothers me with liquids, even a large batch of almond milk smoothie, that I made the other day. Wine gives me a certain amount of discomfort, but beer really gives me trouble. After two or three pints I get quite intense pain, and a need to vomit. It feels like my whole system has backed up, and that my intestine's won't let the contents of my stomach through.
