One needs to be careful about mixing antidepressants with alcohol.
My exabf was on antidepressants but they clearly state limit alcohol so what he would do is take them during the week when he drunk less & then not take them over the entire weekend when he was binge drinking. It was a vicious circle.
Then one day he went real weird, had a whole week off work, binge drinking & didn't take his meds for 1 week. I was very concerned for him & when I turned up to find out what was going on he was lying in bed depressed & crying now I was there & having angry hallicunations for a picture on his wall.
I made him take his meds & after a while he calmed down.
Next day I also had to appear to make sure he again took them.
That was when he decided he was never going to drink again. I thought this was his rock bottom. I took him home & supported him in detox for 2 days. He did give up drinking for about 3 weeks.
It didn't last & wasn't long before the drinking took over our relationship again.
I don't know what to advise you other than you don't want to raise a child around a drunk but this is what experience antidepressants & alcohol had on him.
