Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Brintellix is one of the newer medications that can be used to treat depression.
In general it is thought best to avoid the use of alcohol when using this medication because of concerns regarding possible increased risk of dizziness or drowsiness but in many persons, no interaction occurs.
The risk of these symptoms can occur in theory but if you use very small amounts, infrequently then the chance of any symptoms is small. You can consider a small glass of alcohol (not daily), if you are aware of the potential for the dizziness and drowsiness.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
