Wine and benadryl are depressants, so they could
have a tendency to have a dampening effect on
the prozac. But to be honest, I have given up
on trying to be a health nut while taking meds.
If there isn't a serious drug interaction then
I'll have a few beers with my buddies or take
an anti-histamine to sleep. The real danger
is understanding if a drug interaction might
make you dizzy or disoriented and cause you
to not operate machinery appropriately. Best to
not be driving your car while mixing meds.Prozac generally seems stimulating, so I would
guess that a glass of wine or a little benadryl
wouldn't hurt. Moderation is key.Keep in mind, everybody is different , and until
the prozac is working I would minimize any
interference. When you feel better you may want
to explore "having a little fun". Otherwise, what's
the point in living, IMHO.-john
