Gin or any alcohol can be a Bad Idea on antidepressants
and as you're taking a combination it's definitely a Bad Idea without talking to the quacks first.
Glad Fluanxol is making it all work for you though. It's a real hit and miss, guess-ridden process, finding the right drug or combination for depression so it's great that they've found the combination that works for you.
I hope the side effects are tolerable for you.
In the meantime as you'll know the pills take out the highs and the lows but don't actually cure us. I hope you're being offered therapy or similar support (waiting lists can be long - I waited two years for the right therapy for me but it made more difference than all the pills put together).
Good luck.
