- Little or none. Prozac does not potentiate alcohol induced sedation,
- in contrast to other kinds of antidepressants. People taking tricyclic
- or MAOI antidepressants should NOT be drinking. However, it is usually
- recommended that people taking any antidepressant medication should
- abstain from alcohol (or keep its use to an absolute minimum) in the
- interest of getting their mood or anxiety disorder under control, and
- avoiding problems with alcohol, for which depressed and anxious
- people are at higher risk.
