Alcohol really is a depressant though, and it is probably messing with your moods.

I also get drunk faster because of my meds. My pdoc told me it was okay to drink as long as I didn't take my Klonopin.
Thanks, SunAngel! I suspect alcohol is indeed messing with my moods. Oh well; I'll get over it.

So far, I do not get drunk any faster than before. Never had a hangover before starting mood stabilizers, never. Back in the day, I'd be sober and good to drive about 90 minutes from stopping drinking, assuming I wasn't exceeding about a drink an hour. I think I just metabolized the stuff really fast!
