Avoid alcohol
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It seems like you have developed intolerance to alcohol.
It is either due to allergy which is seen in first timers or it can be due to drug interaction of alcohol with some drug started recently.
If you are taking any medication for any ailment then please let me know.
And anyways you should avoid alcohol because you can have fatal oedema of throat (angioneurotic edema) in case you continue to take alcohol.
Take care

Brief Answer:
Cipralex

How long have you been taking cipralex?

does the cipralex and alcohol react each other.I have been taking cipralex since 3yrs.but till 3 months back I haven't found intolerance to alcohol.this started off from three months.u want me to stop taking cipralex and check?please advice.do I need to go to gastroentrologist or normal physician.
Brief Answer:
Physician opinion advised
Detailed Answer:
No dear, don't stop cipralex without consulting your doctor and replacing it with another drug as it can cause acute depression or mania.
Visit the physician who had prescribed you the drug and discuss your symptoms with him.
But in my opinion you will not be able to tolerate alcohol even in small amount.

y did I suddenly developed this as I was taking alcohol and cipralex since three years by mixing the both.I ll meet my physician.this is my last message.thanks for ur support.
Brief Answer:
Wait till you meet your doctor
Detailed Answer:
You are most welcome dear.
It is definitely unusual to have these symptoms suddenly after using same drugs and alcohol.
But it is similar to the fact that certain people develop asthma after moving to a metro city.
Try to avoid alcohol as much as possible till you meet your physician.
Take care.
