If you're looking for someone to tell you it's okay to drink any amount of alcohol while taking Paxil, you're out of luck. Several members have answered you regarding this issue and can't make it any plainer. If you chose to drink, you do so at your own risk. If you are concerned to this degree then it would be smart to err on the side of caution and not drink.
OK. I am concerned and so I ask. It's time to start thinking of a reason why I can't drink over the next months or longer...which is going to add to my anxiety I'm sure.
