Question re: Topamax

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

Re: Question re: Topamax

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

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.
Stick with the light & clear stuff.

Topamax & alcohol is no joke. DON'T DRIVE! 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.

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

CHEERS!

Re: Question re: Topamax

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

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
