My husband was told the same thing. He isn't much of a drinker any more, so it didn't bother him to stop drinking. He stopped taking the medication because he didn't see any benefit and the possible side effects were worrisome.

amen

I was taking it. Mixing any type of alcohol with medication is contraindicated -it could cause increased side effects, such as circulation problems, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, or confusion, and it may cause agitation, irritability and other abnormal behaviors. If you're on meds I recommend you go without the wine.
