Is alcohol consumption safe while on Fetzima?
human
I am currently taking Fetzima ER (began June 2016) at 40 mg a day...my doctor currently increased my dosage to 80 mg because of maintaining symptoms of depression. After about 4-6 weeks on the medication, I started to occasionally drink a 6oz glass of wine, maybe 3 to 4 times a week. I haven t experienced any side affects. Do you see any reason why I should not be able to have a glass of wine occasionally with a meal.

Dear userWe understand your concernsI went through your details. Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of Fetzima (levomilnacipran) such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid the use of alcohol while being treated with levomilnacipran.
