I just started taking Topamax again and I noticed on the bottle that it says alcohol may intensify effect. I'm not a heavy drinker by no means, but I do enjoy an occasional cocktail :) Has anyone had any experience with taking Topamax and drinking? The first time I was taking Topamax I stayed away from drinking altogether, but my lifestyle has changed a bit and I'm enjoying going out a bit more and would like to be able to enjoy a drink here and there. Please let me know your thoughts and/or experiences.

Thank you

Has not stopped me from enjoying my Jose Cuervo Golden Margaritas on the rocks w/extra salt. :D

I must warn you though, alcohol is going to start tasting a little funny. At first you are going to think the bartender "watered down" your drink. After awhile, you will get use to it.

Stay away from all dark wines & liquores. These will bring on the mother of all migraines. :mad:
Stick with the light & clear stuff.

Topamax & alcohol is no joke. DON'T DRIVE! :nono: You may not feel like you are drunk, high or even tipsy but, if you are stopped by the po po, YOU WILL BE CHARGED WITH DUI.<----No this has not happened to me. I have friends in the State Police Dept. :D

Reason, why I am sitting here now drinking my Margaritas. :D

CHEERS! :wave:

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm so glad to get a positive response. :D

I stay away from the dark stuff anyway. And I'm very good about not drinking and driving. ;)

Enjoy your margarita, that's one of my favorite drinks also :)
