Just wondering about the effects of drinking alcohol while taking venlafaxine. I am currently taking 150mg of venlafaxine and wondering if it is safe enough to drink alcohol or is it altogether better to abstain from alcohol completely. Has anyone had any experiences of this? Has it interacted with the drug in a negative way i.e. cancelled out the effects of the drug or caused bad experiences?

I have always drunk alcohol with my meds although I know that I shouldn't. While it hasn't exactly interacted badly as far as I could tell, alcohol is a depressant so it does seem kind of pointless to be taking an anti depressant and drinking at the same time. Perhaps if you can just limit yourself to one or two drinks every so often it won't make a difference.

I occasionally have a drink without noticing any bad effects. I take 300 Mgs of venlafaxine.
