Ppd/PPA meds question

For those that take meds for ppd/PPA such as Zoloft or lexapro, do you still drink? I know the warnings say not to, just wondering what others do. I drank at a wedding recently and had a horrible stomach ache and was wondering if anyone else has had this side effect. It's the only time I've drank while on it because I didn't really feel like explaining why I'm not drinking, lame I know. Plus we didn't have the baby and I thought I could've taken advantage. Now I'm scared to have a glass of wine in the future.

I do but certainly not in excess. I have maybe one or 2 drinks every 2 weeks.

Thanks for your insight ladies. When I was feeling sick, I wasn't even feeling drunk, it was Iike the hangover without the fun!

I no longer drink but used to drink all the time on them. The main reason they say not to is because alcohol is a depressant and well, you're on anti depressants so...but it probably contributed to feeling drunk fast, etc.
