You are very welcome; do not want anything to happen to you; having to fight depression is enough! Take Care--Sandy
thanku so much x0x
wanted to add to sandy's excellent answer that sometimes the alcohol can make your antidepressant not be so effective and you can begin feeling depressed again.
So yes...in general...not a good idea to mix antidepressants and alcohol but do ask your doctor for more details on this.
