Medication Question - Interaction with alcohol?
I'm on olanzapine 15mg. I am just about to go and drink a load of 40% spirits because I've been having cravings for it for weeks now. I rarely drink alcohol. Does alcohol interact with my meds and how?

PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.
I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.

The two do react with each other so I advice you don't drink alcohol with them.

I know first hand how annoying it is not to drink with meds that interact but it really is for the best.

Speak with your doctor or pharmacist. They may have some suggestions to help you out. I just had my meds switched (not to what you are on) and when i asked about alcohol the doctor gave me some guidelines for drinking, which your doctor may be able to do for you.

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way,
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay,
Somehow I guess they were wrong.

I just want alcohol so badly, which is odd as I don't want to sleep and alcohol makes me sleepy even when I'm not on meds.
I will ask the HTT tomorrow about alcohol, because I don't know if I have to completely 100% avoid alcohol or if I can allow myself one shot glass of spirits.
Thank you.
