I cant remember if I've made a post before on this so I'll just write another one

I havent drank in almost 3 years. Mostly because whenever I did I had horrible intrusive thoughts.

Well I'm on lamictal, I have been for a good year now and I would love so badly to just have one fun night. (I understand you DoNt NeEd aLcOhOl to have fun) BUT I would love just one night to have fun

Mostly wanted to see what your interactions where with it if you drank. Anyone on here with any insight I would love personal experiences. thanks

Dont drink. It's not worth it. One will lead to opening your addiction back up. I've never drank or smoked. I get my fun free from life. Smoking and drugs and booze are a crutch. You can do better. Best wishes to you.

I don't drink. I'm sure a lot of people on meds do.

I look at it as the meds are taxing my body. I don't want anything else for my major organs to filter.

lamictal And alcohol share the same side effects, so I personally don’t want that. Increased CNS effects not fun, so not sure how fun you’re night will be.

I’m no one other than a stranger on the internet, but I would choose a fun night without alcohol.

It's not wise to drink alcohol bc it can counteract or enhance your medicine.

I drink wine only (no hard stuff) within reason and I've had no issues. This is me though... Of course, I researched each medication I take and how alcohol how it would effect me.

If you have had an issue in the past with alcohol I would strongly suggest avoiding it at all costs it may may make you pick up bad past habits

Nope. No issues. Never dependent was just a social drinker here and there. I'm just afraid of blacking out.

Hi this is Shnookie. I would definitely advise against drinking with lamictal. I take 100 MG of 2x a day. The second time is

6 PM. And to relieve my anxiety I take a small amt of Clonozapem around 10 PM

to allow me to relax into sleep. Drinking

would stone me and make me feel lousy

the next day. It’s not worth it.

I’m here 4 U hugs 🤗 S
