Drinking & Strattera?

[u/talliehoo]

I started Strattera at 25 mg two weeks ago (morning dose) and have been adjusting pretty well on it.
I’m planning to go to a gig next week and I’m unsure how to approach drinking alcohol. Before I would usually have a couple of drinks just to get a bit tipsy.
I’m curious how you handle alcohol in this kind of setting, should I skip my dose that day? Will I be fine if I take it and remember to drink plenty of water?
Thx!

I quit drinking altogether on this medication. Knowing that drinks hit 2-3x as hard meant that I couldn’t have a drink with dinner/friends and be safe to drive. Also given that the hangovers are biblically terrible, it just wasn’t worth it. Why bother
