I’m on 20mg slow-release Methylphenidate a day (taken in the mornings) and haven’t had any alcohol since I started taking meds last fall. And even before that I could count on one hand the times I’d drink alcohol in a year.
But I used to be a big whisk(e)y afficionado and have started to really crave a glass of my favourite single malt scotch.
I asked my doctor if I could drink a little bit of alcohol in the evening every once in a blue moon and he said yes, but I’m still hesitant. Does anyone here have any experience in this regard?
I’ve been on Foquest (25mg) for about a month. Last night I had 3 pints of lager. First time I’ve drank since being on the medication. Nothing unusual except that the next day it was like I hadn’t drank at all. Normally there’s some effect on energy levels or mood. Doubtful it’s related to the meds, but it was the only remarkable thing.
