Can I Do a Water Fast While on Medications?

[SQAAD]

I've been prescribed lorazepam and olanzopine at night, to get more hours of sleep. 

Soon I'll be off the  medications. 

I'm thinking about doing a 3 day water only fast. I have successfully done fasts before so I have some experience and know what to expect. BTW I love fasting. Its so much easier than dieting. 

This is an opportunity for me to do the fast now. Also with the medication I will be sleeping a lot better while fasting. 

Can I do a 3 day water fast while on these medications??

No, wait until you are complete off any medication before you do water fasting.

Pharmakokinetics (the way your body metabolizes/eliminates a pharmaceutical drug) can drastically change under prolonged periods of dehydration.

Maybe I didn't write my thread the right way. 

I will be drinking water. Only water and a lil bit of salt.

Ohh, my bad! I didn't read that properly.
In that case, that should't be a cause a major problem!

Will the metabolism of the drugs and their effectiveness change if I am no longer ingesting food? 

Keep in mind I want to do only 3 days of fasting.
