> Any help/thoughts would be appreciated. I am going out this weekend with some friends to a local bar/restaurant and would like to know what to expect...What I have noticed on Effexor and drinking alcohol:
If I drink more than one mixed drink or two glasses of wine, the headache the next day is downright terrible. Also, I will not feel the benefits of Effexor and feel depressed, down. Not what I want! So, take it slow while out with your friends. Drink a lot of water.
