I've been taking Amitriptyline 10mg for almost 2 weeks now, for IBS. Months ago, my sister and I started planning a night out for Halloween. I'd really like to have a couple of drinks while I'm out, but everything I can find about mixing Amitriptyline & alcohol is for higher doses.
Does anyone know what would happen if I had a couple of drinks on Saturday night? I'm also on Buccastem 3mg tablets, as other tablets I'd been put on were the wrong dosage and were making me sick, so these ones are to combat the sickness.
Do you think it would be okay if I didn't take my tablets for a day, just so I could enjoy myself when I am out, instead of worrying that I'm going to fall ill?
I don't want to speak to my doctor about it, as I think it makes me sound like an alcoholic, saying I don't want to take my tablets as I want to drink alcohol! But I don't drink often (just special occasions, like New Year) and, like I said, we have been planning this night out for ages.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks
