Alcohol and bipolar

Second day without booze. I reluctantly admit that I feel cheerier. Slept in and even that did not cause the devastating depression I am used to. I hate to "blame" alcohol as I like it. One note however: On my regimen of Lamictal, Trileptal, Cymbalta, Risperdol and Welbutrin, things taste different from time to time and spoil the enjoyment.

I am curious about this funny taste thing. I also am very sensitive to smells. Let me know if you have had any similar experience with these drugs. I am assuming it is the drugs.
