This is not medical advice I am not a doctor: I take it for anxiety to help me fall asleep at night. If I have had more alcohol than about one glass of wine, I will either cut my dose in half or not take it. If you have drank a lot and take it, it can be dangerous

Some medications interact with drugs, alcohol, or other medications in the sense that they exacerbate the effects of the other. I’d recommend (at minimum) looking up any 2 substances on drugs.com and seeing if there’s any reaction listed before you take them together. Checking with the prescribing doctor is also a good idea. Personally, when I’ve smoked weed while on Abilify and/or Zoloft, I got high a lot faster than someone who’s not on those meds would.
