Anti-depressants and alcohol don't mix. Another very good friend of mine was going through a messy time with his wife, his dr put him on anti-d's. Of course his doctor never really thought to mention to him that he shouldn't be drinking at all while taking these, and I guess either the pharmacist didn't mention it or the guy just plain didn't hear him if he did. It took a couple of times like what you had happen in Phoenix for anyone to figure out, including this guy, that there was a really out of control problem going on that seemed to be appearing where there was never a problem before the meds.
Everyone has issues at some point or another, and sometimes things happen by accident that end up better in the end than if they had been done by design.
