They suggest not to. What are you on?

I'm on Lamictal too and i drank last weekend and i was fine!

But what about the lexapro? I know alcohol makes you manic and they say the crash is made worse when it wears off.

I am only drinking.

its just that my husband and my family drinks. Not in a bad way. I just feel weird if I don't drink with them.

Maybe it would be in your best interest to not drink anymore tonite.In the future you may want to ask your pdoc what he feels on the subject but if it makes you feel bad then dont do it.

I drink on my meds, But find they don't work as well when I do.

im a big dribnker atm and my meds slightly work but its not harmful etc they just dont as well as they can

I would say no being a hypocrite I do. But it does affect me and usually for the worse bad temper more hypo. Wht do it I lose it and then drink then lose it more. Tis a bad idea but as said do as I say not as I do

I used to drink everynight when I first started taking my meds and they did not work at all, now I find that if I drink just a few glasses of wine or something and not get drunk they still work just as good. I think that once the amount of acohal in your system is more then you meds they stop working it is realy up to you to figure out if you can or not and how much you can drink if you do. Of course your dr will tell you not to do it.

I used to drink when I was on Prozac and I would be bouncing off the walls by 4am. It was awful because I was still drunk and just wanted to get to sleep.
I dont drink on meds now because a lot of them are "downs" and I know you can pass out or worse, go into a coma. So, I think I'll pass!

I recomend not to drink. I went through a case where a friend tried to get me to drink and she did but recently I moved out and I no longer drink because I am on medication for anxiety, depression, and GERD and epilepsy. Alcohol effects your alertness and effects you mentally. I would not drink

You sound like you are finding it hard to come to terms with the limits now in place.
It's really a kick in the heart when you realise how much needs to change in yr life.In order for you to achieve a 'healthy' mind of sorts.
I'm hypocritical in this.
i drink every now and then.I get smashed with mates.
They only want to see the old you.
You need to see a sign of the 'new' them.

Generally it's not a good idea to drink on meds. Not will they stop working but the meds can multiply the effects of alchohol by alot. I was on a coctail of meds a few years back (Lexapro, Lamictal, and some others) and decided to get smashed. Next morning on the drive back home I was so drowsy I clipped a car. Luckily the cops attributed the accident to my meds, otherwise I would have gotten a DUI. So definitely don't drink on meds and if you do make sure you stay at home.

I share one beer with my husband but I ship taking clonopin when I do... It des nothing to mu Lithium as I am on what the Dr's call a baby does 300mg in the am. so by evening the Dr says its out if my system.... i take it just to keep me hypo but now I am going the other direction so I am not taking the Lithium or the klonopin except for bed time not drinking even half a beer and drinking lots and lots of herbal organic tea with sugar and a dash od cimmamon. Light lots of candles and inscence and basically make myself calm so that I can't get any lower.

Its a fight to stay in a normal range. I can't see med Dr til February only one Dr accepts my Insurance. Took 2 months to get my therapist apt.

i wish I were Rish they get apts no problem!!!!!
