I think MOST meds state on the bottle that they are not safe when combined with alcohol.

I take wellbutrin sr. You are not supposed to drink with it that is true. BUT, unless you took a nose dive into a gallon of vodka you'll be okay. : )

I used to get REALLY sick when combining alcohol with any of my anti-d's, so be careful of that, and you never know what the effects of drugs and alcohol can do to your body in the long run.

I have been taking Wellbutrin SR (twice a day) for 10 years. The XR was not as effective for me. I drink a glass or two of wine just about every night, and more on the weekends. I feel like the effect of alcohol is greatly increased because of the Wellbutrin. I would not drive even after one glass of wine because I don't feel in control, so please make arrangements for a ride if you are out and drinking.

if you drink liquor while on wellburtin it increases your chance of having seizures. Becareful.

don't mix phsyc meds with alcohol... take it from me.. i've been around the block, i take these meds and know stories of those who are no longer with us due to mixing the wrong cocktail. be safe how ever you do it.

Drinking while taking these kinds of meds is not a good idea. I had an experience last november over the thanksgiving holiday where I had just a little bit too much wine (3 glasses) and a can of diet coke. The mixture of the anti-depressant, alcohol, and caffeine was a nightmare. When I got home, I was so disoriented that I didn't even recognize the front door of my own house when I tried the key.

Anti-depressants effect the chemicals in your brain, and mixing that with other mind altering substances is not safe.

Be careful!
