fluoxetine and alcohol

I had not been warned of this and should have read the leaflet more closely!

I have been on this for five weeks now and have had a couple of glasses of wine here and there and been okay, BUT, twice now I have had a couple more than I should and Lord have I suffered!!

I have been violently ill, vomiting and the most excrutiaing headaches ever!
I did not realise it was because of the medication the first time, I thought I had just had one drink two many, although I thought it was odd to be so ill.
The second time it happened I became suspicious because I knew that I had drunk that much before without that reaction.
So I read the leaflet more closely and saw that they advised to avoid alcohol.
Believe me, from now on I will be very careful.
