Just been prescribed Mirtazapine, can I drink alcohol with this. Really worried of what it will do

Posted , 2 users are following.

ive been prescribed this for anxiety and i drink every night like 4 pints lager. ive heard its dangerous to drink with these and now im really worried what it will do to me. really anxious about taking them and tbh i need to go to chemist tomoz to pick something up so might ask them. im even debating ringing my dr to maybe change for something else as he doesnt know i drink alcohol. i was on an ssri before and i was fine drinking on them as its quite safe but yeah if anyone has any advice or experience. id greatly appreciate it. thanks
