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?

    My doctor told me that I can skip weekends if I feel like I need to mellow out and the medication prevents that. I take the same thing as OP does.

    Edit: ask your doctor tho, not medical advice obviously

      That’s my point, ask your doctor. I’m not saying you can’t skip, but you shouldn’t just because some random person said so.
