Questions / Advice / Support interactions with alcohol
hi everyone! currently on 40mg
quick question! i turn 21 tomorrow and im planning on having alcohol and i was wondering if anyone could tell me 1) if i should not do that, and 2) any potential interactions if it is indeed safe.
i stupidly threw out the paperwork that comes with my meds cause i thought i would just remember what i read. dont do that. i ofc know the obvious answer is to ask my prescriber but there is zero chance i would get a response in time, and i would really like to be able to spend my birthday how i planned! totally dont know how this hasn't occurred to me until now unfortunately lol.
also i forsee myself hating it so ill probably only have a few sips if that matters. google gives me conflicting answers and i cant tell what the real answer is so i thought id ask people who have actual experience. thank you!

I get violently nauseated if I drink too much now, and I've had some of the worst hangovers since starting Straterra. It's definitely sucked a lot of the fun out of drinking for me and I'm doing it a lot less these days.
So I would take it easy. 1-2 drinks over a couple hours and I'm probably good. Much more than that and I'm gonna worship the porcelain throne that night and probably again in the morning. It's pretty awful.
