I am bipolar type II with anxiety mixed in and I am currently on three difrerent types of medications. I take (total mg per day) Wellbutrin 400 mg, Topamax 100 mg, and Xanax 1.0 mg. I take these meds in dosages split in half twice per day. I'm also on a weekly trial of Lyrica at 150 mg for pain (which I don't know if I'm going to continue).

I was wondering if is it safe to have an occasional drink or two while on the Wellbutrin, Topamax, and Xanax with the dosages I'm on. I've been taking the first two meds for about 2 1/2 years and the Xanax for almost 2 years. I would like to have a drink once in awhile but I haven't touched any alcohol since I've been on medication because I don't know how they would mix and what the reaction may be. I've heard both sides...that it's safe to drink on occasion and it won't hurt and to stay away from alcohol with these meds because it can cause strange things to happen. I've even heard mixing Alcohol and Xanax together could also cause my heart to stop. But I haven't found any info to back this up.
