A member asked:
I'm 17 and have been on lexapro (escitalopram) for 3 months, can it hurt me since i drank about 3 sips of alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not 3 sips: It is not a good idea and more than a few sips is a worse idea. It increases the effects through diminishing the liver function which would dispel the alcohol so it stays in the blood longer than usual. Anyway, you're too young and depression symptoms can be worsened by drinking. Be careful, be well.
