> O.k., so most of these meds say don't drink alcohol. I'm a casual drinker, a few glasses of wine a few nights a week at most. I'm taking Risperdal, Topomax, and Wellbutrin now. When I have had a few drinks, I don't feel any worse for wear in the morning, but while I'm drinking, I feel absolutely zip, no buzz, no nada. I'm a lightweight so it's usually one glass of wine and a little buzz at least. Of course I'd rather be mentally healthy than buzzed, just curious what anyone else has experienced, if that is normal, what effects alcohol has with these drugs and if it is really unsafe. I need to ask my pdoc about it but in the meantime...
i was told that alcohol takes at least 2.5 days to be processed by your liver, during which time any meds you take get ... uh... urinated out unmetabolized... so you may as well just not take any meds and save yourself the cash(you should probably verify this though :) )
