10mg Lexapro & Alcohol

Kay Says:
A few days ago my doctor started me on Lexapro once a day. I am currently trying to wean off of effexor. I had been taking 50mg quick release twice a day, and now I only take that once a day. I also take Xanax as needed. I have never had a problem drinking on effexor, or any other antidepressant I've been on (Zoloft & Wellbutrin). I am leaving for an open bar cruise in a day and want to be able to have some drinks while on my vacation. I plan on refraining from Xanax on the days I choose to drink. But will the Lexapro be ok to drink with? Especially as I wean off of xanax?
I am a 5'2, 110 lb 23 year old female who has been on SSRI's since I was 16

It could cause you to experience more side effects than usual, such as nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness, according to FDA reports.
It is really best not to drink while taking a prescription medication.
How are you doing? When is your cruise?
