getting over no alcohol on meds fomo

Advice Wanted

so i'm 23, got diagnosed and started meds in january. i never really cared for drinking, first did it on my 21st birthday and it was fun, the second time i did it was my 22nd birthday, still a cool time. but i don't do it all the time, it was never a me thing to do. but since this past january being medicated i feel so left out, i only go out 1-3x a year but it's so much sadder to go out with my friends now because they're all drinking and im left out because im not allowed to drink on meds. i know it's not an activity i enjoy but i get angry and sad to the point of physically like shaking and crying while out because i feel like im missing out on my "party years" since i have to be on meds. are there meds you guys have drank on and its fine that i could possibly ask my psych about transferring me to or has anyone else who's had the physical reaction to fomo figured out how to not have your body physically react when you feel left out? thank you :)
