so i tried to drink some beer to get away from myself the other night...helped some temporarily but when i woke up the next day i was hurting even worse. Anyone have similar experience?
I find that a beer or a glass of wine helps me relax which seems to help with the pain. Never had it make it worse. Perhaps you had too many? Not meant as anything other than saying if you had too many you may have a lower pain threshold the next day as overall you wouldn't feel well. I am not taking any meds so I have no idea if there are conflicts with mixing the two.
I enjoy 2-3 beers a couple of nights a week. So far, it hasn't interfered with my Tegretol or caused me any extra pain. But it could for some people, I suppose.
