I dont think its a good idea to drink alcohol while you are on medication. I think it may increase the side effects of the medication or react with it. I think it would be a good idea to ask a doctor about this to be sure. Big hugs to you.

Bummer! ok thanks. i was thinking that myself but really hoped i was wrong.

I've been on Zoloft for over 10 years (with a seasonal time-out in late spring to late summer as I have SAD). I am about 25 lbs over weight for my age & height. I have had up to two glasses of wine with a meal and have never had any bad side effects.
Your doctor is the one to speak to you on this topic, not me, but I wanted to tell you of the fact that I have never had any kind of negative reaction in taking the medication along with a little alcohol.

I wouldn't recommend drinking while taking Zoloft. I drank a reasonable amount on a regular basis and was okay most of the time, however I was also prone to becoming irrational, argumentative, violent, hysterical.... I feel generally much better since I stopped drinking. No one ever told me not to drink whilst taking Zoloft and there was never a warning on the packet. See how you go, everyone's different! All the best!

I believe that while your taking antidepressants you should not drink. I have been there and it wasnt pretty. It also depends on moderation. I kind of went overboard. Should ask your dr

You will find the affects of alcohol are exaggerated when you are on SSRI antidepressants. It is BEST to avoid consuming alcohol AND minimize your intake of sugar, caffine and complex carbohydrates. Caffine is a stimulant - which you don't need.. typically counter to what Zoloft is trying to do and the carbs and sugar are motabolized just like alcohol.

it is not a good idea, I can't give ya a pass :)

Christmas party already? Wow, you start celebrating early....hope you have a great time.

I have nothing to add to the discussion concerning alcohol and meds. Err, I don't drink today; so, you can guess where my answer would go.

I took Zoloft for many months and I would really recommend NOT to drink, even a couple of glasses. It makes you feel better so far, dont ruin it. And every doctor will tell you the same, its written on the box anyway, do not drink on antidepressant, not one glass, not ten, nothing. Sorry it comes with the medication but it really doesnt go together; im sure some people dont feel anything bad but every serious doctor will tell you alcohol has to be avoided totally on medication. Sorry to sound patronising but I have seen many people losing it even more when mixing alcohol and medication and that includes myself. You might even feel fine physically but mentally you will have a down. The festive season will be hard without alcohom but its not worth it, think about next Xmas when you wont be taking medication!! hugs

not a good idea....
