alcohol is depressogenic, so effectively would annul the anti-depressant effect of citalopram in large amounts. It is also said that alcohol may amplify the side effects of anti-depressants. Citalopram is a fairly "clean" drug, so I wouldn't worry that much. But I guess a couple of drinks here and there should do no harm (but don't say that a doctor said so!)..

Wouldn't know much about the other question, as I'm neither a girl nor a gynaecologist.

Drink yourself silly.

well you might want to wait a few weeks until the medication settles itself down a bit. when i started taking fluoxetine i couldn't drink without weeping myself to sleep when i got home, or something. but it's alright now. (incidently one of my mates is on citalopram and drinks like a fish, and he's fine.)

Ta.

My missus had an implant in her arm which lasted 3 years, and was fairly free of side effects and pain, unless she was punched on it, which happened infrequently. I think you can get ones that have different lifespans too.

As for drinking on anti-depressents, i'd have thought it'll surpress their effectiveness and therefore your hangovers will probably be a little worse/depressing than normal. I guess you got to decide what you want from taking these pills...and whether you'd be willing to sacrifice the beer for achieving this...
