A member asked:
Are there seizure meds on which i can safely drink alcohol? i'd love to be able to have two glasses of wine w/o getting drunk. (taking tegretol now)

Always a risk: Alcohol acts on your brain and all antiseizure medications do too. So anytime you mix those medications with alcohol there will be interactions. You have to be aware of what that does to you and decide if that's worth it to you.
