What if the conventional wisdom about mixing alcohol and antidepressants is all wrong? With Dr. Terrellin and therapist Jen, we challenge the status quo and shed light on the complex relationship between alcohol use and antidepressant medication. Despite the warnings, many individuals continue to drink while on SSRIs, and we ask the tough questions about why this happens. Our conversation includes personal anecdotes and professional insights that underline the disconnect between medical advice and real-world behaviors. By questioning assumptions and advocating for transparency, we aim to empower individuals navigating this tricky landscape.

Throughout this episode, we explore how SSRIs might affect alcohol tolerance and the broader implications of prescribing these medications as a treatment for alcohol addiction. Dr. Terrellin shares a personal story about titrating off Lexapro and its surprising effect on alcohol tolerance, challenging the prevailing perceptions of how these substances interact. We also tackle the controversial topic of iatrogenic addiction and reevaluate what it means to be labeled with a substance use disorder
