Re: question about meds and alcohol - January 31st 2009, 12:53 PM

I'm on a mood stabilizer and an anti-depressant. If I were to drink copious amounts of alcohol the chemical reaction that would occur between my medications and the alcohol would cause serious illness or possibly even kill me, depending on how much I drank. If anything, it also alters my neurochemistry.

Like people have said, the best way to really answer your questions is to ask your doctor. Practitioner- client confidentiality laws prohibit him or her from telling anybody, and they would have the best answer for you. However, if you are too uncomfortable with that, you can google the medication you will be taking and its effect when mixed with alcohol.
