On 75mg topamax (topiramate) qhs for migrane. no history of seizure, any harm in having an occasional drink or 2 w/ dinner? (alcohol isnt a trigger for me)

No: There is no harm in having 1-2 drinks with dinner. However if etoh is a trigger for headaches/migraine i would avoid it.

Not unless trigger: Unless alcohol is a trigger for your headaches, an occassional drink should not be a problem.
