It is not advisable to use alcohol or drugs while on psychotropic meds. An occasional drink now and then probably isn't a problem, but frequent drinking and certainly binge drinking while on meds is not a good idea at all. Everyone reacts differently to their meds when mixed with alcohol, etc., so you really won't know until you try. Unfortunately that means you do play a bit of Russian Roulette when you decide to mix alcohol with your meds.
I rarely drink, and when I do, generally one drink is all I can do on top of my meds.
