the owls Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 i know it was a bad idea... i don't need to hear that. what i want to know is... if anything like this has happened to anyone else after mixing any ssri's with alcohol.. i drank maybe 5 drinks, came home, felt fine, went to bed just feeling tipsy. some may know i've had some major problems w/ my relationship as of late. well we went to bed on good terms. apparently i woke up in the middle of the night screaming and hurling abuse at my partner. i said some really awful vile things... things i've NEVER thought (it sounds like i was just trying to be hurtful - things like, "you're ugly and disgusting and a loser") and then i punched him in the face. i made him cry.. and laughed at him.. he said i scared him for the first time in our 6 years together. i don't remember ANY of this. i have never been abusive or violent.. i used to drink heavily (with and w/o medication) and NEVER blacked out, became violent, forgot about anything i did while drunk, etc. i've never hit anyone before. i mean i seriously am horrified at this - he makes it sound like i was possessed. obviously i haven't drank since then. but i want to know if this is a sign of something seriously wrong in my head, or if mixing zoloft and booze can produce a black-out effect like this (while sleeping?!).

ldo Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 If you haven't been drinking lately, isn't 5 drinks an awful lot? Alcohol is pretty notorious for making (or at least letting) people rage. I had one full drink when taking Prozac and emotionally lost it, but not in an aggressive way. Who knows what might have happened if I'd had a few more? Since then I've limited myself to maybe a quarter of a drink at a time. You should, however, mention this to your pdoc and your therapist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
