I am currently taking 200 mg of lamictal, 150 wellbutrin xl, 20 mg lexapro 6mg invega 20 mg abilify.  If i drink alcohol what will happen?  can i drink at all?

Answer
Hi Meg,
It depends upon the amount you drink. In small quantities (a beer or a glass of wine) will not cause problems but in higher amounts we may see unpredictable reactions. So stay within limits of small amounts and you will not suffer.
