Hi @Shaz51,

Generally speaking (keeing in my mind we can't talk about specifics), mixing alcohol with meds, may have some type of interaction effect. Have you spoken to his doc?

Again, very generally, alcohol is a depressant, which can further contribute to feeling low. I'm not sure how this all mixes together. And it also depends on how much hubby is drinking - if is to excess, then there are health concerns with that regardless of the mixing with meds.

How is your hubby doing, Shaz? And how are YOU doing?

Hi @CherryBomb, my husband drinks 2 beers a day , or on a rare day he will drink 3 and he said he feels relaxed but very very tired

no we haven`t spoke to the doctor yet

I think my hubby is tired of the work we are doing , but there is nothing else , so he drinks a couple a beers at the end of the day which is making him very tired

thank you @CherryBomb, I am doing ok

Hmm, sounds like it could be a combination of things - work, stress, alcohol and meds - that is contributing to him feeling tired.

Hello @CherryBomb

thank you for your support

My hubby has been given a bottle of port so he has been drinking a glass or two a night

Today he said that feels very anxious , scared, terrified and thinks he wants to go to hospital for a break !!!

so I said i think it might be the alochol, so he said that he will stop drinking to see what happens
