How are you guys going to deal with your medication and alcohol over the Christmas season? Just have a very small amount or take it safe and abstain altogether? I'm on Topiramate and have had a bad reaction once after two small glasses of wine so have stayed clear since, but wanted to know how the rest of you approach this. And this is my first epileptic Christmas :-(
Yeah, Don't drink its not worth it. I had a shot for my 30th and woke up in the hospital, I had a grand mal and bit through my tongue almost bit it off. Not worth it.
Not a drop of on Christmas Eve. It was kind of fun watching other people get tipsy! lol!
I don't drink alcohol. I feel it's too much of a risk and I'm not willing to take that risk.
I drink a little... or then some. But I'm very careful!
I sometimes have a shandy but I never really been that much of a drinker and only been drunk twice in my life and I'm 40 now. I have some mulled wine from last year and other drinks in my cupboard and have very small glass sometimes.
I did go out with some friends for a meal the other day and it was two meals and bottle of wine for £20 which was good. I ended up drinking two glasses of wine and head was spinning but I was not drunk and never had a seizure but felt like I was going to.
If you do want to drink then very small amount in the bottom of a glass just to wet your lips.
