If i have a benign brain tumor , and i've been off meds for a good 5 days now. is it ok for me to drink alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tough question: Since alcohol interacts with many medications and the brain functions, it is important that you discuss this question with your personal neurologist/neurosurgeon. I typically allow my patients to drink in moderation (no more than 1 drink a night) 6-12 months after being off all brain related medications. But again, please see your personal physician before acting on my suggestion.
