STAY AWAKE (Generic for VIVARIN) Lifestyle Interactions

  • Topiramate 100mg, Oral capsule, extended release sprinkles 24 hour

    Interaction: Alcohol
    Severity: Major
    Notes for Consumers: Do not drink alcohol while taking this medication. Drinking alcohol while taking this medication can cause serious side effects, such as central nervous system (CNS) depression, and can increase the risk of falling. Call emergency services right away if you experience symptoms of CNS depression: slow or shallow breathing, shortness of breath, feeling faint, dizziness, confusion, trouble staying awake.
    Notes for Professionals: Advise patients to avoid alcohol consumption while taking topiramate. Topiramate is a CNS depressant. Concomitant administration of topiramate with alcohol can result in significant CNS depression. Trokendi XR is contraindicated with recent alcohol use (i.e., within 6 hours before and 6 hours after use). In the presence of alcohol, the pattern of topiramate release from Trokendi XR is significantly altered. As a result, plasma concentrations of topiramate may be markedly higher soon after dosing and subtherapeutic later in the day.
