Baclofen, Lyrica, Madopar and Alcohol

[Cameron Nicholson]

Hi Guys

I'm just after a bit of advice here, I am 17 years old turning 18 this coming August and well you all know what happens on you 18th (21st for some). I am on the following medication and just wanted to hear some feedback regarding alcohol interactions, there's no point me asking a doctor because lets face it they will just want to cover their butt's, can you blame them?

Medications I'm on that are concerning me:

10mg Baclofen twice a day (20mg)

225mg Lyrica (150mg in the morning and 75mg at night)

I have been doing reading and a lot of people seem to be a much higher dose.

I'm also on Madopar, 750mg (250mg three times a day), I'll be honest I haven't researched this one as of yet, but I don't think this will cause too many issues.

Any advise/feedback would be extremely appreciated

Sorry if my wording is a tad off, I'm extremely tired

Hi Cameron,

We are not doctors, so we cannot advise you. Why are you on all those meds? You are so young.

Hi Sam

I completely understand that you're not doctors and cannot advise me, "advice" was probably the wrong word to use, I'm just after general feedback.

I have Cerebal Palsy so the medications are for various different things.

Madopar is for Dystonia in my arms
Baclofen is for muscle spasms as I have spasticity in my lower half dystonic in my upper, I had a operation involving light muscle releases ever since the operation I suffered with chronic spasms through my stomach that stem from the operation site, when I say chronic I mean my stomach goes rock hard and cripples me up into a ball, in the beginning I used the take diazepam when the spasms to see if they would pass over time but they didn't so the doctors had to put me on the Baclofen.
The Lyrica is because when they did the operation they nicked one of my nerves.

Cheers
Cameron
