I always tried to avoid combining alcohol with my psy medication. Now I just take the occasional benzo and try to avoid alcohol when taking them. Alcohol and medication is just a bad combination. Grapefruit is probably the second worst in combination with medication and lesser known. I never eat it.

Okay, so no matter what anyone says some people are going to drink. Problem is one drink will probably not do much so you have another. Then your judgement becomes impaired and you decide to have another. Next thing you know you're stumbling, being stupid, driving drunk, doing a weird hook-up...
Maybe only drink in the company of a designated friend who knows your story and who can keep an eye on you? __________________  Bipolar l/Rapid/Mixed/Depression/Anxiety Disorders lamotrigine 100mg 2x/day Vraylar 6mg 1x/day methylphenidate 10mg 3x/day bupropion XL 200mg 2x/day bupropion IR 174mg 1x/day buspirone 30mg 2x/day quetiapine 50mg 1x/day I'm 50 Shades of Bipolar and I have no safe word... |

My GP asked me today if I drink alcohol. I told her once in awhile. She didn’t really seem to care.

Anything from counteract the meds you're on to increase side effects to death.
You should try your best not to drink while on meds and always consult your prescriber |

I have noticed consistently with SSRIs, that after more than 1 or 2 drinks, the effect of the SSRI seems to be diminished, as in, it seems to stop working. Oddly, I notice that the 2nd to 3rd days after the drinking occurrence, that the effect is the worst. So, if I would drink on a Sat, the worst day would be Tuesday, and I would feel better by Thursday. This is extremely consistent by the way, and seemed to be true for every SSRI OR SNRI.
Has anyone else noticed anything similar? |

I have found that I really ought not to drink on meds. Do you guys have any advice as to how to not drink on meds? I always feel like I am obligated to drink in certain social situations.
