TLDR: On 50mg, planning to drink buckfast and skipping a dose tomorrow. will this be okay?

Currently I’m on holiday and managed to find some buckfast, which i’ve always wanted to try but never been able to find! I bought a bottle, only to read after the purchase that it’s highly caffeinated (and of course, alcoholic)

I take 50mg a day of elvanse. I’ve had no issues thus far, and even been able to enjoy one alcoholic drink here and there. There was one day when I got VERY drunk at a hen do, completely forgetting that I took my meds, and I was ruined. I felt like I got drunk super quickly after 3 glasses of tequila and apple juice. I never drank coffee, so that’s been no issue, but I have had to cut out energy drinks and only have the odd cup of tea.

A doctor told me that if i plan to drink, skip the dose. I’m just a bit apprehensive about this, for some reason? It’s not the alcohol side I’m worried about, it’s the caffeine!

I’m planning on skipping my dose tomorrow just to allow me to drink the buckfast and hopefully any other drinks throughout the night.

Will this be okay? Has anyone else had any experience like this? Thank you! x
