Don't know if this is the right board for this, but someone help me out. I've always read that alcohol makes antidepressants stop working, but what does that mean, exactly? I know it takes a few weeks for an antidepressant to start working once you've started taking it. Does alcohol "reset" that progress and make the medicine stop working for another few weeks? Or does it just make it stop working for that day? I can't find an answer online.
