I just started with taking 60 mg of Propranolol SA to help lower my BP. I know you shouldn't drink alcohol while on most medications however I was curious about an effect I suffered recently.

I don't drink a lot but I happened to go out twice this week. A few nights ago I was at an outing and had 1 glass of wine. It hit me kind of hard and I got slightly dizzy. To get this way usually would take me like 3 glasses of wine. Even stranger was I started feeling really depressed. Although I noticed these effects I didn't think much of it. I wasn't driving and just went home and went to bed.

Then today I went out to dinner and had 1 beer. This time I did not get the dizziness but I got that really depressed feeling again. After a few hours the depressed feeling kind of lifted and I was OK.

I was just curious if any one else has had this experience with Propranolol? I suffered from depression a year ago but it has since lifted and I am now doing OK. The feelings today and the other day were sudden and pretty intense. It kind of scares me because... I've been there and really don't want to go back to that state of mind.
