Hey everyone, I am new to the bluelight. Been reading for couple months and this is my first post. Please go easy on me as I am new.
I have a question.
My doc prescribed me Zoloft 50mg and I have been taking them for about a week now. I know that the effect of alcohol is enhanced while on SSRIs, and have not tried mixing the two.....but..last night I was feeling very down and I have not felt a change in mood from the Zoloft (doc says it will take couple of weeks), so, I decided to take some Panadine Forte (30mg codeine). I have never had a problem taking them before, but, shortly after taking them I was feeling really drunk and relaxed, way more than ever before (this lasted only for about 20 mins)I went to my bed and became worried that I was having a reaction with the Zoloft. I was nauseous and tried not to, but had to vomit, which ruined everything and just sucked. I know that nauseous feeling is normal while taking codeine and I should note it was not taken on an empty stomach, I had a milkshake before downing the pills.
Should I avoid Codeine altogether while on Zoloft? or was it the milkshake or just the codeine which made me so ill?
