Can you occasionally drink while on Prozac and Wellbutrin?

I’m currently on Prozac and Wellbutrin and have been for the last month. I haven’t drank alcohol since starting both medications but was wondering how bad or dangerous it would be to drink alcohol one night a week while on them. Any experiences?

I think prozac is ok, but on Wellbutrin, you should avoid alcohol like the plague!

Why is that? I’ve heard the same from someone else. @ImperialAerosolKidFromEP

@Frankreynolds I had a couple of rum cake balls before I realized what I was tasting. It wasn't all that serious, but for such a small amount of booze, it was a pretty stiff price to pay. I hate to think what would happen if I killed a bottle of Jack.

What were your symptoms/side effects of consuming that alcohol while on Wellbutrin?@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP

@Frankreynolds with the exposure I had, I only felt kinda sick for about 20

Gotcha. Thanks for the info. Sounds like I’ll just have to avoid alcohol for a while. @ImperialAerosolKidFromEP
