Well, I have a question for all of you wonderful people. Ive been taking zoloft for a while and I noticed that after a while this almost "manic"phase kicked in. I love the manic thing, but earlier I was drinking (alcohol), just a little bit and today I feel absolutely shitty. Im wondering if perhaps the alcohol is whats making me feel like garbage today. If it is, I would just like to know when I will be feeling better. I figure, cause alcohol is a downer and zoloft is an upper? that soon I will be feelinfg better.
Answer:
“First, taking zoloft and alcohol together may enhance the effects of
the alcohol. One drink could have the effect of two drinks, for
example. The chance or severity of side effects such as drowsiness,
slow reflexes, or clouded judgment may be increased, perhaps suddenly
and without warning.
If you usually feel tired, or even a bit depressed after drinking,
then you might feel even more so if you're on zoloft.
Zoloft can also produce sedative effects; and since alcohol is a
central nervous system depressant, lowered heart rate and blood
pressure changes are possible. This becomes even more likely as the
quantity of alcohol consumed increases.
Other symptoms, including headaches and sexual dysfunction, are also
sometimes associated both with medications used to treat depression
(such as zoloft) and drinking alcohol.
