I need to know if it's okay to have a glass of wine or two maybe Just on the weekends possibly once a week... I have to take medicine for 3 yrs and it seems I cannot even enjoy a glass of wine every now and then? I want to take this medicine to feel better but woul like to still enjoy the normal things... I am also on buspar twice a day ... I jus didn't know if it is a high chance of seziures or just a possibility? Also how long does it takean lastly my doc is making me break my pill I am on the lowest dose and I read you shouldn't break crush or chew it...

BuSpar is a prescription medication approved as an anxiety treatment. In general, drinking alcohol while on BuSpar is not recommended. In addition, many people with mental illnesses are usually advised to avoid alcohol.
Studies did not suggest that combining alcohol with BuSpar increases the risk of side effects. However, the manufacturer of the drug recommends that people who take it avoid drinking alcohol. However, studies are performed in a controlled setting under specific circumstances, and it is impossible to know if combining alcohol and BuSpar in the "real world" will cause problems.
It is reasonable to assume that combining alcohol with BuSpar might cause the following side effects:
Unusual behavior; Memory problems; Drowsiness; Dizziness; Problems with coordination.

Thank you so much for the comment! last night when I posted my question I had two sips of wine already. After that I just kept reading stuff and it did make me have some anxiety... I should've mentioned my dosage. I take 10 mg of buspar twice a day and the lowest dose of wellbutrin(75mg) once a day (sorry I didn't clarify). Also the breaking in half of the pill is for my wellbutrin, which lists on the web to not break crush or chew... so makes me wonder why my doc has me do this... Either way this is probably more of a reason not to drink even though it is every now and then... *sigh*
Most welcome, the most important aspect of life & medication is to keep well & safe always.
