i take 160mg geodon, 2000mg depakote er, and am considering drinking tonight, good or bad idea?

Question

i am considering drinking a couple beers not too much and see how i react to it. any one who has been there done that? or Drs are welcome to answer. PLease help me, and thakn you.

Answer 1

It's not worth it; I take Depakote and tried drinking in the begining, it really made me sick. Since you're liver is already doing so much work with the depakote, it's going to work overtime to process the booze, resulting in a SUPERHANGOVER. You'll probably feel so sick in the morning, you won't want to do it again.

Answer 2

Very bad Idea. The drugs interaction and alcohol could make you very sleepy ......worse cases go into a coma. If you really want to drink, take your medication about 4-5 hours prior to you drinking. And please drink a lot of water after wards.

Answer 3

NOT a good idea. When I drink I usually don't take part of my medicine because it doesn't mix well. Just be careful and don't get wasted like I usually end up doing anyways...lol

Answer 4

Bad Idea, we have a client that did the same thing. The only suggestion we could offer him is skip a dose, if you are planning on drinking and then restart the next dose after.

Answer 5

don't do that , u are hurting yourself, psychologically you are killing yourself, your self - esteem is low, value yourself, you don't need alcohol to live. plus the interaction with pills may be dangerous for your health, i have been in coma for that, they found me on my bed luckily at night. i don't know if ur dosis is high enough to make that, but be kind w. yourself, ur loved ones, and friends, really alcohol is not the answer. i gave it up completely and i don't drink a drop of alcohol anymore.

Answer 6

Really, anyone on those meds does not need to be drinking.
