Hey everyone,
I'm debating on going to a psychiatrist to see if I can get on some sort of anxiety medication. One thing that's stopping me is the thought of possibly not being able to drink while on medication. FWIW, my therapist said she wouldn't recommend anything too strong.
I'm not an alcoholic or anything, but I just like to drink socially. I've been really lonely but have recently met some cool friends, and I feel like my social life would virtually disappear if I don't drink, and that's a huge problem and will make my life worse.
I've read some things about drinking while on medication, and it seems to be not recommended. Just wanted to know if anyone had any experiences. Is it just "doctor speak" so to say. I mean, will there be some minor side effects or will I just black out all the time or something?
Just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts.
Thanks
