My doctor prescribed me Prozac about a week ago to treat panic attacks. I understand that I'm only supposed to drink alcohol in moderation, which is fine. But next week is my birthday in Vegas, so I would obviously love to do shots and have some drinks. Is this okay if it's one night?A night of booze combined with prozac?I would recommend you to watch following DVD that is available online if you have fast internet. It's told by psychiatrists, psychologists and people who worked for pharmaceutical companies. It informs you - beside other things - about side effects that are not often being told by psychiatrists. It also suggests an alternative in the end. When you then make a decision to take antidepressants, you may be better prepared, educated and understand what's going on when you encounter some bad side effects. I would say that these information are actually vital.
The link sounds a little scary - that鈥檚 because many antidepressants have suicidal thoughts and impulses as side effects which you can also read inside the pack of some antidepressants.

Drinking on any medicine is bad. Drinking while on a medicine that effects your brain is VERY bad. You also can make you condition permanently worse.
You will ultimately do what you want to do. Just hope you come back.A night of booze combined with prozac?The easy and obvious answer is.... NO. Alcohol is a depressant, which counteracts the Prozac.
It will take about 1/4 the alcohol to get you intoxicated being on the SSRI. And, you risk getting sick and/or having a seizure.
A couple drinks are probably okay. Anything beyond that - you're asking for big trouble.
