This is for a novel im writing. For a point in the story, a girl is taking meds and is convinced by friends to go and drink and she has a negative reaction and wakes go the next day remembering nothing.
But Im not a medic so I dont know how realistic this is. What would happen if a person takes meds like anti depresants, and afterna few hours drink alcohol? What would happen to them?
There’s a very wide range of things that could happen when you mix anti-depressants and alcohol. The drug, the dose, the amount of alcohol, the person, what else they did that day, and about 100 other factors would all be relevant in the likelihood of that happening.
Is that outcome possible? definitely.
Realistic is more of a subjective bar. But people get blackout drunk all the time without antidepressants, I would think most readers would treat it as realistic. Particularly if you have her drinks a lot of alcohol, and wake up with symptoms of a hangover.
