Help! I have been very infrequently taking Nalproxen-helps very little in that manner, however, last night I had what I would call a seizure. I took Nalproxen in the morning, didn't eat past lunch, then in the evening drank a bottle of wine and @ 6-8 beers (mind you I am a tiny 120 lb girl). Normally, I would be pretty well f-ed up. Last night, however, on the Nalproxen, I think I had a seizure. Has anyone ever experinced this? I started out nauseous, then shaking uncontrollably, then I slumpped to the floor,(thank God, face down) salivating like crazy with complete lack of muscle control. I was alone, with my two children upstairs, trying to reach out for the phone that had fallen during my fall...I could not move my hands, yet I was completely aware of what was going on and what I was trying to do...it was scary. What happened?:new:

Help!
You guys are scaring me! I am very healthy, eat very healthy and exercise. I am not asking you for medical advice, however, is this not normal on that drug if you drink? Is it something that the drug did to me? I want to take care of myself and especially my family. Should I be worried?Comment

I would definitely call your doctor. Do you have any history of epilepsy in your family? It could be any number of things but none of us could give you a definitive educated answer. Have you googled the side effects of naltrexone? Maybe that could shed some light, but I still would go in for a check up ASAP.I'm really easy to get along with once people learn to worship meComment

Hey, I'm scared. Have you ever been on Nalproxen? Considering my eating disorder, I guess it could be a number of things. LMKComment

tiffany, don't be scared. Honestly I think you should call your doctor as it could be an adverse side effect from the drug and drinking, or several different things, or maybe even nothing. I would go for your peace of mind.
I don't know much about nalproxen - sorry. But taking any medication with alcohol could be bad news.
My suggestion is "don't play with fire" go and see your doctor.Comment

Tiffany you can guess and we can all guess but we are not the doctors. I think that you need to take your own health into consideration especially considering you have children in the home with you. I urge you to call your doctor just to get advice if nothing else."Keep your eyes and heart focused on the end goal at all times, and never settle for less."Comment

I agree with everything thats been said, you must see a doctor. You could have had an
alcoholic seizure. It's very important that you seek medical advice..Comment

My sister has battled an eating disorder for many years, and while not a drinker, has been on numerous meds. She has had seizures as well, tho I'm not sure what meds she was on at the time.
Im not sure if it was the med, or her body reacting to critically low nutrition, or both. But it's very serious business- especially with alcohol in the picture. It should NOT be considered a normal side effect of medication.
Do see a doctor ASAP and be frank and upfront about what is going on, so you'll be able to recieve better care from the doc.Comment

re:Topamax vs nalproxen-eating disorder drinker
No need to consult a doctor unless anything is serious.This is a very normal behavior of not being stable due to mix up of the Topamax and nalproxen along with the drink you had and also i thing in the next morning you might have felt every thing as normal.

Do you mean Naproxen?
Looks like seizure is a potential side effect:
Naproxen Information from Drugs.com
Topamax is an anti-seizure drug.
I agree with the others that youneed medical advice to determine the true cause.Comment
