When we say alcohol is a depressant, what that really means is that it slows down neurons firing in your brain (electrical impulses and hormones go more slowly with alcohol in your system). So it's not a depressant as in makes you depressed.

Having said that, it can also lead to feelings of depression! If this is a new thing though, I would wonder about the interaction between alcohol and your medication. There might be a consumer information leaflet?

It can also be that different types of alcohol will affect you in different ways, that seems to be a common thing that happens. Experimenting with it could be a problem though.
