In reply to Lamictal and alcohol, posted by AMD on March 4, 2005, at 13:27:53
I am in a fraternity and I used to go to UNLV. I am Bipolar and I was taking 100mg of Lamictal on Cinco De Mayo. But before I was taking 25 and then later 50 mg then the night before Cinco De Mayo. I was bumped up to 100mg. But I HIGHLY ADVISE not to drink with Lamictal especially when your taking high doses. That night I blacked out and nearly died I had no control of my body whatsoever. The next day everybody told me what had happened that night which remembered none of it. I had and appointment with psychologist and she told me how stupid I was for drinking with my meds. Turnss out drinking alcohol with Lamictal can make you mentally retarded, and slower in the brain. Just don't drink and take your meds its not worth it. If you feel that you are going to drink then just keep all meds out of your system for 24 hours. That way you won't risk making a grave mistake.
