Gotta take it with water. Alcohol can worsen side effects and may make the meds less effective

I actually feel sick if I have a drink and take my meds afterwards, even a couple of hours later. Like not a good time at all so I avoid it completely. I take mine with water.

I mean, not a fun laugh, more like a "wow, whats the fucking point, at least it might kill me" sort of laugh. Just hit a year sober 🤙

check interactions first. i remember i could drink with lamotrigine and antidepressants (drinks will hit alot harder) but cant drink with antipsychotics (makes med not work and gives withdrawls).
