Does Consuming Alcohol While On An Anti Depressant Cause Seizures?
My friend s daughter is on an antidepressant medicine (sorry, do not know the name). She has had two seizures, one last night. Her mother thinks it is because she sometimes drinks alcohol while taking the medicine. Could she be right? And if so, is there an antidepressant medicine that will not have this potential negative effect with alcohol.
