By now you will have decided what to do. Not judging at all, just giving my opinion, not a good idea.

A dangerous combination.

From my experience, I've drank on moderate doses of sertraline before (an SSRI - no obvious effects), the only thing I wouldn't drink with again is propranolol (a beta blocker), I remember I just had one or two shots and immediately felt really woozy and weird. The same happened to my sister but she was on huge doses of everything. I think I'd trust what doctors say more than internet people with health anxiety - I guess there might be some harm long term, just like drinking alcohol in general - but if there were short term effects that you didn't like you'd just choose to stop drinking like I did with propranolol
