Drinking on Antidepressants

Is it risky to have a drink or two if you’re taking drugs for depression? Doctors don’t really know.

"“Many people don’t recognize and make those connections,” he said, so they think that they can continue drinking — or drink more. They can’t. The bottom line is that anyone taking an antidepressant should first speak with a doctor before drinking any alcohol.

“They ignored the real data, created false scores, and somehow got through a peer review system that I cannot understand,” he said. “It is quite astounding.”"

Starch goes quickly to glucose which is healthy when individuals are not diabetic.
