Drinking Alcohol & Taking Meds
| Wed, 02-21-2007 - 2:42am |
Hello,
I'm on Zoloft and Klonopin as needed, and I usually drink about once a month, sometimes twice a month but no more than that.
What are your thoughts and opinions on this subject? Does anyone else drink and use meds?
Thank you,
Tina

I have tried to drink a few times while on meds and each time it is a disaster. I feel very disconnected, faint and nauseated. I don't recommend drinking while on the meds. If you do, be careful and limit your amount.

Hi Tina, I am against drinking while on meds.

Hi, AJ here,
I'm new to panic/anxiety and xanax in the last two weeks and I'm definitely not drinking any alcohol while I'm on it. I have always enjoyed a glass or two of wine, especially to unwind with my dh once or twice a week after the kids went to bed. So it's a lifestyle change. My doctor says he'll have to wean me off xanax and onto something else, which I'm sure will also come with a "no alcohol" warning. I feel like I need to pay more attention to my overall health and wellness, and am making other changes in my diet/exercise anyway, so I feel that taking the alcohol out of my system is another way I can try to get back in charge of my health. I must say, though, that I look forward to one day being able to sit and enjoy a glass of wine again. :)
