A member asked:
I just started lexapro (escitalopram) and ativan and neither label said anything about alcohol consumption, would drinking be safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How much?: The effects of alcohol mixed with meds are usually additive. Depending on the individual's biodhemistry drinking might be safe - but you would need to be careful about quantity. Think about dirnking - but less. If you or family members have drinking problems, then drinking at all is a gamble.
