I've been taking fluoxetine HCL 20 MG capsules (aka Prozac) daily for a little over two weeks. I was really liking the effects it was having on my mood. Other then a few annoying side effects like constant yawning and a little trouble falling asleep all has been good. I've been happier then I have in years.

The last couple nights however I drank alcohol with my sisters and found myself feeling very similar to the way I was feeling before I started taking the pills. I was quite sad and really just wanted to die to get away from it. My doctor had not warned me to stay away from alcohol and the only thing I knew about mixing the two was that it could cause drowsiness.

I've decided not to drink again. I was never really a big fan of it anyway and only did it because my sisters kept pressuring me to. But I'm afraid I may have messed up something. I feel the same crushing sadness and I'm afraid it wont go away.

Has anyone experienced this before? How long will it take for the meds to kick in again? Am I going to have to wait another two weeks for the meds to build up in my system? Please let me know. I was just getting used to the increased happiness I don't want to lose it again.
