What is a “SAFE” Amount of beers when on Celexa / Anti-Depressants?

by Admin on December 4, 2009

Well I am going upstate this weekend, but unfortunately I take 40mg of Celexa everyday for Anxiety. But I want to be able to get a nice little buzz when I go away for these 2 or 3 days. Everyone else will be drinking and I want to be to. This sucks, anyone have any tips?

BTW, is non alcoholic beer safe to drink? Like I could have 4-8 of them without having any problems?

Thanks!

Really, most antidepressants say right on the side of the bottle to not drink alcoholic beverages while taking them.
However, I’m not a hypocrite. I have, but I’ve had blackouts and bad experiences as a result.
I finally said enough and said time to hit the O’douls. The non-alcoholic stuff. I had the taste I wanted without the god awful side effects!!!!
If you feel pressured or embarrassed about drinking "non-alcoholic" beer, pull your server or bartender off to the side and request that they pour it into a glass and discard the bottle. No one but you and your server/bartender will know.

Mixing drugs and alcohol is never safe. Stick to non-alcoholic beers and you will be fine.

I’m thinking 0 is a safe amount. Never mix alcohol with anti-depressants.

Probably none. Even one beer could cause a bad reaction. Your life is all that is on the line. I mean blacking out is one thing(common when mixing booze & anti-depressants) but death??! So not worth it pal

Doctors don’t recommend drinking alcohol with celexa or citalopram but I did and nothing bad happened to me.. be warned though you will get drunk & fall asleep early.. i DO NOT reccomend it xx BTW non alcoholic beer is safe as it doesn’t contain alcohol xx

Don’t listen to these P.C. people There is nothing wrong with drinking beer with antidepressants. I do it all the time and I don’t limit myself any differently than before I was taking them.
