That is possibly the most Buffista piece of advice ever given.
Truly. Specialized expertise, I'd like you to meet a highly particular need.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well, it's worth remembering that warnings on prescriptions are put there to err on the side of caution. This particular drug really *does* have an alcohol-related potential problem, but it's for chronic alcohol consumption, not for one drink on one occasion. However, try putting that on a drug label.
I understand erring on the side of caution, and I even tend to agree with it in many cases.
However, *I* am here for the rest of those cases.

The status is NOT quo.
Tep, I really love you right now.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

On which note, thanks for the Cymbalta info. I've passed it along.

And OH MY GOD, you have no idea how happy I am to have gotten that advice from Teppy. As soon as the Infamous BlueJay turns up for vampire TV time, I am having absinthe.

You're welcome, although I know it was pretty vague info.

Hee. I like this line:
Freaky rare side effects Retinal detachment. Excessive disturbing and disabling yawning. I guess they considered it “excessive and disturbing” because Lexapro wasn’t involved.

Sometimes it seems like the drug manufacturers like to take any excuse to tell people not to drink alcohol. "May increase drowsiness" doesn't say much to people like me who don't get drowsiness in the first place.
One drug I took said a side effect you should call a doctor about immediately was "inability to move eyes." Without that warning, I'm sure I would have sat around thinking, "Well, maybe I'll be able to move my eyes tomorrow."

Hah! Alternately, having read that, I would probably every five minutes go "wait, I've only been looking straight ahead at the computer/TV! Shit, can I...ok, yes, I can move my eyes"
