I have had epilepsy since I was 6 months
old and I have been off medication for 7
years now. I have started drinking after
a 5 year break. This last saturday I
went to a bar with friends and got drunk.
I did not wake up with a hangover but for
about 3 days I was feeling a little dazed
and confused.
What is this? I am assuming it has
something to do with epilepsy.
Thanks,
katy

It could be part of your epilepsy, but it
might also be your medication. Some
seizure meds specify that it is not good
to mix them with alcohol.
You can check with your pharmacist or look
up your meds to see if this is the case
for you.
Sorry you have had a few rough days....Be
careful with drinking since it can lower
the threshold and allow seizures.

You can always have what is known as a
virgin drink, that is a drink without the
alchohol, such as a margarita with no
alchohol or a virgin margarita, I have
gone in and drank coke's with a spash of
lime, that way you do not haave to feel
like crud the next day too and you can
still stay on your meds. Bars can get
spooky as it does not take much to slip
something into someone's drink.
Good luck!
