Hi! i've been on lexapro (escitalopram) (10mg) for about a year for depression and anxiety. how dangerous would it be to have one drink?

Not a good idea.: SSRI antidepressants do not mix well w/alcohol. Would not do it.

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
