Worried about Sertraline with Alcohol

2017-08-04 21:05:02
I've been prescribed Sertraline medication for anxiety but I'm afraid they'll cause me weight gain and also I'm going away on holiday with friends recently and was planning on drinking, however, the medication says it should be avoided. I don't want to feel bad because I've drunken on the medication but I also definitely want to be able to drink.

Weight gain with Sertraline is not major problem don't worry. Also while it is advisable to avoid alcohol, on holiday you can consume it with your medication. Don't stop your medication. You might feel sleepy earlier than usual that is all.
