Can I go out on New Year's Eve if I'm on Topamax?

Hello!

I am an 18 and diagnosed with severe migraines and AIWS(Alice in Wonderland- or Todd-syndrome) ans also with chronich headache.

I have migraine 3 times a week and almost always with AIWS, but sometimes I also have AIWS without the migraine.

I've been prescribed topamax last week and am currently at 12,5 mg but on New Years Eve I'll be on 50 mg already.

I am spending the night at a houseparty and normally I'd smoke some joints and drink some alcohol. I am only doing it like once in 2-3 months and I never got any problems before.

However, lots of topamax users had really bad experiences with both alcohol and weed while taking topamax, does it help that I don't do it regularly or should I be afraid of the consequences and not do anything?

Please help me, it's my first New Year's as legal and I really planned to go all out.

Thanks in advance!
