Can I drink alcohol with all the medication I take, i.e. risperidone, concerta, clonidine? What effects will it have? Could it make me ill – the interaction of medication and alcohol?
Question from Tourettes Action's Research Conference 'Understanding TS' 30 Nov 2010
The Speaker's panel answered:
''You can drink alcohol; it is not more dangerous than when someone who is not taking this medication drinks alcohol. You may however feel that the alcohol affects you more and quicker.''
I currently take risperidone and vennax and enjoy the occasional drink. As my dr told, it's ok in moderation.
