In reply to Can I drink alcohol while taking Geodon?, posted by tampagirl70 on May 4, 2005, at 13:21:34
I drink an occasional one but it's probably best while you're starting a new med to try and just minimize the effects that drinking may have in combination with it.
I 'm sure all of the literature says not to drink with any of these meds. That's just standard procedure since some people will have more than a few and then you can't tell what's doing what to you.
Since you are having alot of questions abut starting Geodon I would play it real safe by laying off the alcohol, except for a glass of wine, perhaps, which is your normal routine anyway and you'll be fine.
Did you take your first dose yet? It took me a few days before I got over the initial feeling of being very sleepy. I took it right before I went to bed. The other thing is you have to take it with food too, very imprtant, it has to do with absorption of the med.
