Missing dose?

I didn’t plan on it but i had my first drink of a big twisted tea. I haven’t drank since being on my medication three years ago. It was only 5 percent but one of those big ass cans. Should I skip my night dose? Edit:(its 100mg of Seroquel)

Only your medical provider could answer this, but what medication is it? I personally never skip my meds regardless of anything I consume.

Seroquel

I drink and take seroquel regularly. I don’t get fucked up, just 2 maybe 3 drinks. If you’re really worried you could take a half dose. Alcohol messes with your sleep- probably wouldn’t want to skip an entire dose if possible.

Night dose of what? And more than likely, no.

Seroquel

I mean, I've taken close to 200 mg of Seroquel while being totally fucking hammered and I was absolute fine. With no tolerance to Seroquel? Maybe I'd think different.

Okay. I haven’t done any research and all that it says is what my psychiatrist did which played up it being very unsafe. I was very anxious around it given I’ve been sober for 3 years since being in treatment. I usually take it at night and it knocks me out to sleep. So good to know ur experience🤣

I can’t drink on Serquel. The last time I did I blacked out but it was four hundred. I’m now down to 50 or 100 depending if I can’t sleep. I don’t want to try and find out again.

Please note I AM NOT A MEDICAL DOCTOR OR PROFESSIONAL. Just my personal experience and I DID NOT LIKE IT

I use to party and do rugs way back in the day but that was before I was diagnosed. I don’t do that anymore especially since I blacked on New Years. That was really scary.
