Does everyone else get sick when mixing lamotrigine with alcohol? Honestly when I do drink it's only one or two glasses of wine. I hardly ever get drunk. But I've noticed that if and when I do drink I can't take my lamotrigine or else I will get extremely nauseous. It doesn't seem to mix well. Even with one or two glasses of wine

Have no more then an inch and no mix drinks. Don’t skip a dose. Upside down roller coasters are bad for everyone’s brain not just ours. Bikes, water, roller blades, skate board, hiking, climbing or any kind of boat stuff. Sports is always fun with friends!! Double check drinking with your doctor. Research non or low alcoholic things 0.7 or bellow. Apple cider for Champagne. Face the facts caffeine ain’t good. The whole bar I go to knows me 1,2,3 how are you non alcoholic becks. And now wine is claimed to be bad for you. Funny and tequila is good. Lamictal it messes you up, Death not sure research. I forgot.

Later girl !

You need to except that you are not able to drink being on lamictal. How it can cause seizures, drunk quicker, and possibly life threatening.

I take it the hospital I go to every doctor that knows me and you can only drink non-alcoholic beer or juice when it comes to other drinks

I’m On Lamotrigine too. I’ll drink wine coolers now and then, but never got sick.

I’m not trying to defend anyone here but you shouldn’t drink at all with any meds bc you don’t how they react with your body or meds or could put you in the hospital. Just think about it before you do it!
