Rich1 – hate to be a downer, but if I were you, i’d lay off the booze for awhile until your system has time to adjust to the medication. Then talk to your doctor about it most definitely. If the dex is making you want a “relaxant” maybe the dosage is too high. I know I take citalopram which is the generic Celexa and my script says “avoid alcohol” Also, Joatmon is right, alcohol is a depressant and Celexa is an anti-depressant. I would use this time to let the meds take effect, Use the boost you get from the dex to form new habits,….I mean isn’t that why you’re doing this in the first place? After a few weeks when you go back to see your doc, then you can ask about it….I’m guessing they’ll tell you no alcohol, at least for a while.
