Can anyone help me out?
For a few weeks now, I've been taking 20mg of Prozac every morning and 0.5mg of Xanax at night for depression. So far, I haven't dealt with any side effects, and honestly, I think they're helping a little bit—but that’s not really my main concern right now...
I know you aren't supposed to mix alcohol with medication, but I have plans to go out tonight, and I'd really love to have a drink or two. I'm just not sure how smart that is. Is it going to make me feel terrible?
I'm not sure if the antidepressant will cause much trouble, but the second one worries me a bit. I was thinking maybe I should just skip the Xanax on the night I plan to drink?
p.s.—I know I probably sound pretty immature, but the truth is, I don't want to be stuck drinking soda all night while everyone else is having fun. Plus, I hate having to answer those annoying questions like, "Why aren't you drinking?" So, I'm wondering what I can safely have, and how much, without feeling like a zombie by morning.
