If a person is taking medication for depression, and goes out to drink the same night, can they get a negative reaction? - eviltoast

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?

    The mixture of antidepressants and alcohol causing a blackout alone is not realistic. Maybe just have her drink a lot of alcohol? More realistically (albeit darker), you could do something similar to what the hangover movie did. Maybe even have a drink switch up where the woman intended to be drugged is not (and this ends up alright) and the girl in question is taken home by her friends because she’s acting super drunk.
