Can I take 25 and Atomoxetine together?

Why this happens

Both alcohol and atomoxetine affect the central nervous system. Alcohol is a depressant, while atomoxetine is a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). Combining them can lead to unpredictable effects on your mood, alertness, and heart function. Alcohol may also interfere with how your body processes the medication.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking atomoxetine. If you do choose to drink, do so very cautiously and in small amounts to see how it affects you. Do not drive or operate machinery if you feel dizzy or drowsy. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist if you have concerns about how alcohol might interact with your treatment.
