My Pdoc was mentioning me that drinking alcohol is very bad for sz, even a small drop of alcohol. I know that anxiety can potentiate our symptoms, but that has never happened to me. I feel ridiculed, in UK doctors said it is ok to have one or two beer max, this Pdoc is holding me as an idiot.
I’ve cut back quite a bit. usually I have 1 or 2 beers a week, to relax me after a long day. I don’t buy it anymore though, im not to be trusted with alcohol in my house. but mom and dad will give me one at dinner, about once a week over at their house.
I can say I haven’t been drunk since last oct. 16th, almost a year ago, when I had a whole six pack with my brother the night before we hiked a 10 mile section of the Appalachian trail.
The problem is I actually have felt like my meds dont work after a heavy night !!
I always thought people were talking shiit to me about them not working so great when i drank but yea, its not good to drink on them, yet i still do it.
My buddy drinks on his anti-psychotics and he blacks out so easily and his memory is so bad. Ive gotten used to telling him the same stories over and over. If I have a crave to drink he says “youre not missing much”…so id say thats the same for all of us who dont drink
