Zoloft and Alcohol

So i know you aren't supposed to drink alcohol WITH you Zoloft but how long after or before taking the Zoloft are you allowed to have a drink? I haven't drank in a LONG time and definitely not since i started taking the Zoloft but I'm going to a party Thursday and im ninety eight percent sure I'm going to drink. Can i do this without like dying lol? I normally take the Zoloft every night around ten the party is starting around that same time so what should i do?

Alcohol consumption while taking Zoloft is not recommended. It can amplify the effects of alcohol on the body such as drowsiness, decreased coordination and increased side effects.

Hope this answers your question.

I had a drink once in a while when I took zoloft. I wouldn't recommend it if you've only been on it a short time, if your body is still adjusting I wouldn't mess with that. Be aware you'll probably be a very cheap drunk. I'd take it really easy if you are going to drink at all (ie. sip a single drink over a long period of time and no shots). If people push just say you're on something that would interact and you don't want to push it. You won't die but you might feel not so good the next day from very little alcohol.

Hi LadyBug,

You have recieved some great advice. If you don't need to drink then I would reccomend you don't. It kind of ngates the effects of zoloft. If you do drink, then do it in moderation. Just one drink and keep that cup handy..and that smile!!
