Is alcohol effecting my Citalopram?
Posted , 5 users are following.
I'm just going onto week 3 on Citalopram 20mg. The side effects have subdued besides, yawning, tiredness and feeling a little spaced out. I track my mood with an app on my phone and noticed that I had around 4 days last week of consistent good days and not so many ups and downs which was great and I thought things were really looking up. Although for the past 3 days I have been really anxious and sad and can't explain it. The only thing I can think of that I did differently was reintroduce wine. I usually have 1-2 glasses with dinner, but I stopped when I began Citalopram because of how bad the side effects were. Has anyone else experience a similar problem with drinking? Or is my body still getting used to the Citalopram

i think If your only 3 weeks in your body is stills getting used to citalopram, I'm sure my doctor said it takes a good 6 weeks to really have affect.
Personally for me, alcohol has never affected my citalopram, and ive been on it 6 years now. Each person is different and I'm not advocating getting drunk every night but for me having a glass of wine each evenings helps me chill and relax.
Hope it settles down.
