SSRI Stories Note: Amnesia is listed as a Frequent side effect for Prozac in the Physicians Desk Reference. The Physicians Desk Reference states that antidepressants can cause a craving for alcohol and alcohol abuse. Also, the liver cannot metabolize the antidepressant and the alcohol simultaneously, thus leading to higher levels of both alcohol and the antidepressant in the human body.
