Is it alright to drink on Lexapro? Does drinking decrease it's effectiveness?



Answers:
Drinking alcohol is not recommended when taking any medication, including SSRIs. Lexapro is mostly used for common depression, stress and anxiety. Alcohol is a "downer" so my guess would be NO!

I think Lexapro is a blood thinner and adding alcohol will thin your blood even more, making you drunk faster and not to mention the workout your liver will be getting.

It really is not advisable to drink while taking these sorts of drugs.
It will cause more drowsiness. Drinking with any medicine can cause side effects.
Drinking while taking an antidepressant can cause dangerous sedation, dizziness, or drowsiness.

In addition, alcohol is a depressant, and the Lamictal can intensify the depressant effect (and therefore one may become quite depressed, and even suicidal).
if ur trying wat i think ur gonna do then ur gonna have to do alot better than a pill and alcohol but if ur just looking for information then thats fine. i dont condone suicide but a word of advice. dont mess up if ur gonna do it.
