>>33334772 (OP)Don't drink on sertraline.
In late 2020, I started sertraline. I read that you shouldn't drink on it, but I had been taking paxil for years and it didn't really affect me when I drank.
So New Year's came and I started drinking my normal amount. I got about 5x as drunk as I normally would've and lost all my inhibitions. Which made me drink even more. I blacked out and did a whole bunch of crazy shit and ended up cheating on my gf with her friend after my gf went to sleep. Didn't remember any of it the next day, I had to slowly piece it back together and my memories hazily came back.
It deeply affected me psychologically because I never wanted to do something like that, never had before and it destroyed my sense of who I thought I was, which still hasn't recovered. My gf forgave me but it was never the same. It also ruined their friendship. I haven't drank anything since then, even after getting off the medication. It traumatized the fuck outta me.
So you are liable to do anything when alcohol + antidepressants are involved. Just don't do it. Or at the very least, drink 1 beer or something and see how that affects you. I've heard that some people are okay, but it's still better off to just not take the risk. I wish I had never done it, I still feel so much grief when I think about what happened back then.
