Boy, I recently had an experience where I had 1 glass of wine at home (don't usually have any problems with wine on my meds, BUT I just had my Abilify decreased & added Topamax.

Well, everything was fine & then we got to the restaurant & I ordered another glass of wine, was eating my dinner & then suddenly the other fellow across the table said something about my looking sleepy. I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ELSE AFTER THAT!! I don't think I dropped my head in my food, but my husband said I walked out, got home, got changed for bed (I don't know if they finished their dinner or not or what happened to them--all I remember is that I did have a full plate of Thai food & 1/2 a glass of wine left) .

I don't remember anything else after him saying I looked tired!! I am so embarrassed. I haven't spoken to them. I don't know what to say.

This change in meds also had the effect on the anesthesia when I was having a colonoscopy (sorry, folks) & a polyp removed. Basically the anesthesia didn't work!! I was screaming "Stop, stop!" 5 years ago I had the same anesthesia & had no problems so the changes in meds definitely are affecting things--& the doc obviously didn't know much about psych meds to not warn me in advance that I should discontinue, or cut dosage or substitute something else...

Waiting for the next strange thing to happen.--Suzy
