Sorry Phil,
Didn't mean to spark off any needless worry here-
mixing these two didn't cause me to don a leather ski-mask and go on a killing-spree or anything; just the reverse in fact; after a bottlebottle of wine with friends, I turned into a grinning imbecile, abused everybody present (in a very inoffensive, laughable way, so I'm told- sort of thing only a few people seem to be able to get away with).Woke up naked in a stupor behind a settee in the garage, before rolling out onto the lawn, to carry on zzzz'ing.When it got a bit chilly, and finding myself locked out, I started knocking on the door (the wrong door!)to be greeted by a startled geriatric neighbour at 4AM.
Today, I can barely string a sentence together- but what the hell, it was fun!!
Funny, Prozac/alcohol would turn me into a grinning idiot too, but with more control and mental clarity.
I don't drink that often anyhow, so it's not a problem really- some people pay a lot of money to get into that state!!Col.

Colin,I have found all SSRI meds to make me feel like I am smoking grass. What you describe sounds like a mild psychedelic + alcohol = no inhibition! I have been off Celexa for almost two weeks now and I miss the stuff because of that (only that -however). My brother-in-law, who has always been a big grouch all of his life, started Zoloft about a year ago. Now, when I talk to him he is constantly cutting up and telling me jokes-nonstop.
