> No, I'm not an expert, far from it, but my theory is that when we drink alot of water when we're on meds, like serzone for instance (me) it could mean the liver and kidneys need help with all the chemicals entering the body. Why else would it cry out for a friggin gallon of water a day, I can't believe this for the life of me. I've never felt so "polluted". I WISH I could have that glass of wine I so desperately want, but I know that I'll feel like shit in the morning, from one lousy glass. So I think they're telling you, "hey, this med is gonna make your liver work overtime, so you shouldn't add alcohol and make it work even harder." Just my theory. D.
I have drank alcohol quite often while on serzone
the only difference that I noticed was that my
tolerance went down a bit. I'm still able to
go and have fun on the weekends, and not have
any type of hangover the next day. So, if I am
able to do this should I, or does it just mean
that my liver is working properly and that I'm
young.
