A member asked:
I haven't drank in years but would like to drink a beer to 'celebrate' starting school. is it ok to drink lightly while taking neurontin (gabapentin) 3600mg daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If lightly means ONE: then it would probably not be an issue, although I would not take it within 2 hours or so of the gabapentin. 3600 mg is a relatively high dose, and alcohol, even in low doses, can have a synergistic effect, meaning 1+1 = 6. You should be asking the prescriber of your Neurontin. If you are on it for neuropathic pain, keep in mind that excessive alcohol damages nerves as well. Keep it VERY lightly
