<s>[INST] Hi, i take 20mg of Paxil a day.Sometimes i skip a day depending on how i feel as instructed by doctor.I was wondering is it ok to drink alcohol or smoke a little bit of herb? I havent smoked or drank in a year and a half. I think its a bit ridiculous. I need some wind down time. [/INST] Hello, You are already aware of the answer to the question - No. You should not try taking any kind of addictive substance, like alcohol or herb smoking. They will take you down again and the efforts you have put in treatment will get waste. One more thing, if pail is working for you, and you are keeping fine on it, you can try to reduce its dosage instead of skipping the doses. Skipping meds is never recommended in psychiatric illnesses. You can try out jogging and join either some hobby class or library to get fun or change the daily routine. Wish you good health </s>
