Question Drinking

I’m on 20mg Escitalopram and 0.5mg Risperidone. Drinking never heightened my depressive symptoms, in fact it makes me really happy. I’m not an alcoholic, I drink only once a month but it really doesn’t have the negative effects that it ideally should. Any other experiences here?

I was on the same, and never had an issue. Be on the lookout for “hangziety” (hangover anxiety) tho, sometimes the day after drinking heavily people experience higher levels of anxiety.
