I know I am not suppose to drink alcohol while on this medication but I have a party to go to. Is it ok to stop taking the med a day before and pick back up the day after the party?

Drinking alcohol, while taking this medication can cause an increase of side effects, so you may feel more nauseous, dizzy and drowsy than usual.

Learn more Neurontin details here.

And people that take it for mood disorders or seizures can basically defeat the purpose of Neurontin, since the alcohol puts them at risk.

Thus, it is best not to imbibe while taking it and not to skip doses of your medication, but if you feel you must, check with your doctor first regarding the safety and make sure that you won't be driving or operating any heavy machinery, while under the influence.

Are there any other questions or comments?
