If i take 10 mg of lexapro (escitalopram) can i drink on it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better not: Using Lexapro (escitalopram) together with alcohol can increase nervous system side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with lexapro (escitalopram). However, this doesn't mean that you can never drink.
