Difference between beer and liquor with antidepressants?

by Becky

I have been taking Prozac for three years and I do drink. I notice a difference in the effects if I drink beer as opposed to malt liquor.

The beer makes me feel tired and lazy. But the malt liquor makes me energized and I want to keep drinking.

Why is this? I used to be able to just drink beer and be buzzed, then I switched to malt liquor pretty heavily for a while. Sometimes I drink beer and it makes me want to sleep, but with liquor and I feel energized and talkitive.

Why is this and does this happen to anyone else on antidepressants?

Thanks, Becky
