I have observed several side effects while taking Topiramate as prescribed by my doctor. I know I need to be careful when consuming alcohol and taking this medication. With that being said, I am an adult and fully aware of my actions, and although I am not increasing my consumption, but furthermore more mindful and drinking what I would consider less. I am noticing nights where I am forgetting a lot the next day or black outs... has anyone else had this occur as well while taking this mediation? I am only on 50mg. ## There are warnings stating that you should not mix alcohol with Topirimate, due to the side effects that it may cause, which could include psychological issues, severe dizziness, drowsiness, and memory issues. REF: Topamax This PDF lists some details provided by the FDA. Al...

I didn't have many wrinkles until I started taking linzess. So I need to know how much water to drink every day while taking linzess? ## There is no specific amount, it depends on what it takes to keep you from becoming dehydrated, which the FDA warns as being a possible side effect. You should also be made aware that it doesn't have to be just water, other fluids also help, such as juices. The NIH released reports on this last year. Is there anything else I can help with? How old are you?

I've been having chest pains for almost 3 years sometimes I feel like my heart will stop beating. My GP said that I have angina pectoris and low blood pressure, then prescribed Pur Blocka. Can one drink alcohol when taking Pur Bloka? ## It is never a good idea to drink alcohol while taking a prescription medication, or having been diagnosed with any medical condition, it can worsen the side effects, according to the NIH, and may put your life at risk, when combined with some medical conditions. However, a major symptom of angina usually includes chest pain, which is not something you listed among your symptoms. What you've listed, according to NIH reports, are symptoms of palpitations, which in most cases, are actually harmless and require no treatment. What type of doctor did y...

I am up to my 4 week dose of Contrave and have had the side effect of constipation, but has anyone got the feeling of if you drank too much? I work through it but it's kind of strange. Also feels like I may get low blood sugar after taking. Any thoughts? I will continue despite this as the positives out weigh these. I had got up to 172. Am 164 and shooting for much lower. ## Hello, Shelly! How are you doing? I haven't taken this medication, but as listed in the side effects by the FDA, it can cause dizziness and disorientation, which may explain what you're experiencing. It can also cause some feelings of being jittery and nervous, so you may think you're having an episode of hypoglycemia. But, they should eventually improve, once your body gets used to the medication. O...

Hello everyone. I've always had issued with construction growing up. Recently went to my gastroenterologist and he performed a colonoscopy with he didn't finish due to my colon having a curve. Now I need to get a CT scan colonoscopy. In the meantime he prescribed Kindness 145mg. I took it on Tuesday for the 1st time immediately after eating. My pharmacist didn't label the directions on it so I had no idea it was to be taken 30 minutes prior to eating. Wow! I had diarrhea about an hour later and lasted for 12 hours. I couldn't even drink water without running to the bathroom. Now I'm confused because I also drink Synthesis for my hypothyroidism disease. This also has to be taken on an empty stomach. I called the pharmacy and they recommended to take synthroid 30 minut...

Dear Sir, I would like to know if mixing cocoa with milk is a good choice or is it preferable to drink cocoa alone... ## Cocoa is not a medical substance, so while it may have some health benefits, I believe the manner of imbibing is entirely up to one's personal preference. Are there any other questions or comments?

Hi, ive been on azor for about a week, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I just feel drowsy especially if I drink alcohol. I suffer from anxiety and need to know if azor will help? ## Hello, Darren! How are you? This medication is used to help with anxiety, and some nervous disorders, however, not every medication works for everyone that tries it. The U.S. FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability. It should not be combined with alcohol, because they can both cause depression of the central nervous system, which could be dangerous. Have you consulted your doctor for assistance?

is a glass of wine at night ok if taking pain meds during the day 2 norco a day ## Hello, Jean! How are you? Generally, it's best to abstain from alcohol, when taking narcotics, due to the fact that they can both cause depression of the central nervous system, which can result in shallow breathing, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and lower blood pressure. However, if your doctor says it is okay, then please make sure you will not be driving or doing anything dangerous. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was told I had a Kidney infection and was prescribed sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim 800/160MG to take one pill in the morning and one pill at night.This Saturday night will be my last pill. I also was prescribed Metronidazole, to take two pills in the morning and two at night. I just took my last 2 pills for that. Now, I know I have to wait at least 48 hours after taking Metronidazole to drink alcohol. But my question here is how long after I take my last pill Saturday night can I sit down and get drunk? I was thinking 24 hours after I take my last pill? Since it is a "normal" antibiotic. Should I wait longer? ## You may actually want to give it a couple of days, because it does linger in your body and continue to work for several days after you finish taking it. That is why so...

I am currently on my first week of Qsymia. I need someone's honest opinion and I will ask my doctor too once I see her again. I am not a big drinker at all but when I go on vacation I do get a couple of drinks here and then or maybe once a day. It's my vacation and I want to enjoy it. Am I going to die if I have a drink or 2 or would you recommend stopping the medication for the week and half I am on vacation? ## Hi Steph, According to umm.edu's drug interaction tool, drinking alcohol while taking Qysmia is not recommended as it may increase or decrease blood levels of topiramate (one of the active ingredients in Qysmia) potentially resulting in more side effects and/or a less effective dose. They also goes on to note that the combination of alcohol and topiramate may cause ...

Hi, I am rx'd ntrexone for alcoholism and it's working, reducing cravings and all. I was a half a bottle of vodka type drinker. Now, when I take one shot of vodka, I get really sick and nauseous. Does this happen to anyone else? I thought naltrexone allowed you to still drink, but reduces alcohols effect on your pleasure receptors. I tried switching to beer or wine and still get sick. I guess that's a good thing but was wondering if anyone else feels this side effect when the drs and drug companies say it does not make you sick like Antabuse. Thanks. ## Hello, Meg! How are you? Naltrexone can cause nausea as a side effect and combining it with alcohol will intensity that side effect. So, it's not designed to work like Antabuse, but will affect some people in a very simil...

I HAVE NEVER LIKE TO DRINK WATER. I'M GETTING OLDER NOW AND MY BODY IS TELLING ME I NEED WATER. I TEND TO BUY BOTTLE FAVORED WATER WHICH I THINK IS STILL NOT AS GOOD AS PLAIN WATER. WHAT CAN I DO BEFORE IT'S TO LATE I NEED MY KIDNEYS? ## Have you discussed it with your doctor? Generally, even the waters with some flavoring and such added, such a Propel, are just as good as drinking plain water. I also have an aversion to most tap water, because I can usually taste the added chemicals for purification and I dislike them. One plain bottled water that I found to be much better than the others, because it doesn't tend to have the chemical taste is AirWater, if you can find it in your area. Basically, even flavored water is preferable and healthier than not taking in any water.

I was just wondering if anyone has drank with this med and were there any side effects? I've been on lexapro 10 mg for a month and am feeling great but I am petrified to even attempt to drink alcohol, but would like to try. So if anyone could help that would be great. ## I have been on Lexapro for 3 years. I drink about twice a week and everything seems to be fine. I have noticed that if you drink heavly for a few nights in a row you will feel a slight depression. Just don't over do it. I was worried at first also. ## Lexapro is an antidepressant. Drinking alcohol is not recommended, as alcohol is a major depressant, and undoes the work the medication does. ## Never do that! I was on that medicine for 2 years, and I was never able to drink! the first time I drank when I was on l...

Hello Everyone, I've been taking Nucynta for about two months now, and I have a very special dinner party that I'm going to be attending with my husband. I'm not a big drinker, but the thought of socializing with new people makes me nervous! Has anyone had one alcoholic drink while taking Nucynta? I asked my pharmacist if I could have just one drink, and he told me he couldn't tell me it would be OK to drink while taking Nucynta, for legal issues. I know people aren't supposed to drink while on opiates, due to respiratory issues, but I've had an occasional glass of wine and been fine. I just haven't drank while on Nucynta - and I don't know how different this drug is in regards to other opiates? I'd appreciate the feedback! ## Actually, I'd have t...

Hi Everyone! I started taking Metoprolol Er Succinate about a week ago. My heart rate was spiking too high while working out. After a stress test my doctor thinks I have a thyroid problem and but me on the medicine until I get my blood results back. The thing is I am only 22 years old. I would like to go out drinking tomorrow with my friends. I am thinking about not taking my medicine that night ( I usually take it at night) to avoid possible side effects. Has anyone drank on this medicine before? Am I good to go? I saw online it may make side effects worse but I am mainly concern whether mixing the two is fatal or not. I want to get better but I also don't want to give up my youth. Please help! ## I take it also, since 2008 I believe. Doc prescribed it to me for my palpitations. I ...
