i have been on BP meds for about a month now and I've kept off the alcohol for that time. It was a sustained period of alcohol and antidepressants and klonopin that got me to where I am now via bouts of suicidal thoughts and partial hospitalization.
On Christmas day i performed a little science experiment and drank a few beers throughout the day (4 x bottles of Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Ale) to see how they would affect me. At the time, the alcohol had no real effect as I have always been able to handle my drinking very well (maybe too well). Next day however, not so good. I felt more anxious and depressed that I have done in the previous 4 weeks. Coincidence? Probably not. I guess I'll be staying clear of alcohol in the future.
