I am on Zoloft, Zoloft increases your appetite for alcohol and also gets you plastered so mush quicker. I thne top it off with Olanzepine for good measure. I dont like Zoloft and your probably better off without it. If you MUST take antis/ panic disorder, look into Efexor. Also, even when not drinking I wake in the morning shaking like a leaf...

Yep!

Once all the anti-depressant was out of me I suddenly became a normal drinker. It is still werid to have beer 5 and dump it out because I just don't want it...but love it

I seemed for me I could drink MORE when I started prozac. Not that I wanted more that I COULD drink more. Withl ess of a hang over.
I thought alcohol = depressant and antidepressant counteracted alcohol. Made sense to me.

ADs were my NIGHTMARE!! Effexor especially turned me into a lunatic all-out drunk! Am now off of all of them, still dealing with the drinking, but am 100% (99%) better than last year at this time. On top of the increase in drinking I also had EVERY single other bad side effect; I couldn't think straight, started losing my hair, gained TONS of weight, my skin was pasty - God, you name it! September will be a year since I took myself off of them (Psych nurse practitioner wouldn't even CONSIDER it), and am feeling soooo much better. Still working on the drinking, but I think I'll succeed eventually.
