If you drink on a regular basis, you will get accustomed to it, over christmas break I had a lot of partying nights and actually was able to drink more while on Zoloft ( 100mg/day) than without it. If you don't normally drink often though, 2 beers will get you drunk. Just be careful and really pace yourself if you decide you are going to drink against the cautions of your doctor and the directions for taking it.

I am currently on 100mg of zoloft and i drink either friday or saturday night pretty heavily (just one night a week) and to start off with it makes me get drunk ten times faster than before I was on the zoloft. I get more stupid and also pass out quicker and am very tired. It doesn't say not to take the two together my doc says it just intensifies the effect.

Answer

I am not a medical provider and have absolutly no medical training WHAT SO EVER!!! Yet I was on zoloft for a short period of time after having my third child and i also drank alcohol while on it, therefore maybe i can help. It just made me extremely tired. BE ADVISED, i did not drink every day, i was not on it very long and I am not you medication effects everone differently i may not have been taking the same dosage either.

Answer

Not a good idea. It may cause some serious side-effects.

Answer

my friend had a zoloft prescription and had alchohol the other night just a couple beers, and you will get drunk, with the smallest amounts of alchohol in your system.

He got very pale, tired, add an extreme case of uncontrollable vomiting, which i had to clean up.
