Fluoxetine suddenly causing me to blackout when drinking. Anyone else?
I've been taking fluoxetine for a while and I've noticed a really concerning change with alcohol.
Before starting fluoxetine, I never had problems with blacking out. I could drink and I'd obviously get drunk, but I wouldn't completely lose periods of my memory.
Now, the last 3 times I've drank I've ended up completely blacking out. I'm not talking about being fuzzy on a few details - I lose significant periods of time and have ended up in random places without remembering how I got there. I've also apparently done/s said things that I have absolutely no memory of.
It's gotten to the point where my girlfriend is completely over it, and honestly I don't blame her. I don't want to be this person when I drink.
I'm currently on 20mg fluoxetine. Has anyone else experienced a dramatically lower tolerance / blackouts / completely different behaviour when drinking after starting fluoxetine?
I'm not looking for people telling me "don't drink on Prozac" - I already know, and I'm probably going to stop drinking altogether. I'm mainly interested in whether anyone else had this specific experience and whether it changed after stopping/reducing alcohol or changing medication.
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who's experienced something similar.
