Do you worry about your drinking? Would you like to drink less? Would you like to be healthy?

Alcohol is fine in moderation but most of us are drinking more than is healthy. Alcohol affects every part of the body and also speeds up aging.

What are the side effects of alcohol and celexa?

It seems as though I have the worst anxiety after a few days of drinking…is there any way around this for me to continue drinking but still be on the meds?

Cipramil is the brand name for Citoplepram and its an anti-depressant but Im taking it for anxiety and panic attacks. Now every one says you shouldnt drink on anti depressants because alcohol is a depressant and it just cancels out the effects. But if Im taking it for anxiety will alcohol stop it from working for me? Im only on it a week so it hasnt kicked in yet but I dont want the alcohol to inhibit the drug in any way…

Please don’t mention medical or psychological treatment as I’m not interested, as a man

I was on lexapro for anxiety before and it really helped me. I stoped taking it because my moms insurance stoped paying for it- now my anxiety only seems to be becoming more and more severe as I get older and venture farther out into the world. I am thinking of going back on lexapro again- but if I did, would I still be able to go out and party with friends? After all, the goal here is to be able to lead a normal life- I’m still not living a normal life if my anxiety is gone but my activities are restricted.
