Hi there!

I've been keeping away from alcohol for a while, not even the occasional beer, strictly no alcohol.
The thing is, I'd like to be able to hang out with my friends and drink moderately (usually means a lot) but since I've not tried it on these I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

I'm on 350mg/day.

200 morning and then 150mg night. Extended release, for pain management.

The only experience I have with opioids and alcohol is Tramadol and buprenorphine patches, and that worked out just fine. Even drinking A LOT while on ~700mg tram has worked out just fine for me, no respiratory problems or anything like that.

Summary:
So, anyone out there who knows if it's a strict no go?
Most medical resource websites have a lot of warnings, but they aren't always correct!

If it's alright, then how much is too much, is there any threshold that anyone knows about?


Thanks!

Drinking alcohol with opioids is not advise but Tapentadol as adrenergic property so you should be fine. Personally I hate the effect of alcohol with opioids, its makes me tired and remove all the magic of the opioid high.
