Beth, I don't really have an answer for you. I take depakote, wellbutrin, trileptal, seroquel and just last week enjoyed a margarita. But, I drink about once or twice a year so I don't think it hurt me any. I think what the recommendations are there for is to prevent you from making a habit out of it. By doing so, it would negate the meds and you'd wind up worse off in the long run. BUT, keep in mind, that is just my opinion. I"m by no means a physician and don't pretend to be.
If you really have the strong desire, my suggestion would be to have 1 tonight. Then maybe 1 another night, and the third on another night.
Drink the beers, minus the Ativan and Topamax, and then stop.
You'll get the craving out of the way and you won't hurt yourself...if you're that worried, don't take your meds for one night...
Course, this isn't perfect advice, and I should be telling you not to do it, but I know what you're going through right now, and the beers will do you good.
I did that last week myself...just remember to STAY SAFE...I got in a bad way with urges when I did it, but my dh was there and didn't let me do anything...
You call me, I'm serious...if you need me...I'm not KIDDING!
