Drinking On Lexapro (Page 9)

I was just wondering if anyone has drank with this med and were there any side effects? I've been on lexapro 10 mg for a month and am feeling great but I am petrified to even attempt to drink alcohol, but would like to try. So if anyone could help that would be great.

I've been on Lexapro 5-10mg for 11 years. I've had many many drinks in that time and never any ill effects. I just know not to have too much alcohol at one time.

I realized since being addicted to benzos, quitting and waiting for the real full effects from the lexapro that drinking can be tricky. The next morning if I over did it with hard alcohol at a party, I will have the WORST anxiety until about 2 o'-clock, and if you drink heavy with hard alcohol and you hit about a 6 out of ten on your drunk meter, u will act fine that night but you feel so s***ty and anxious the next day cause you don't remember anything past that point. Drinking heavy days in a row will give you feelings of depression. You can drink whenever but stay away from hard alcohol! Especially straight up, and stick to wine or beer and don't drink enough to were you say wow I drank a lot last night, the next morning cause then u feel s****y and depression creeps in...

I have been on Lexapro for about a week and last night I had a few beers and threw up violently which I’ve never done before from beer. Don’t know if it’s the med or not but sure wasn’t fun.
