Dont drink w SSRI: It is not safe to drink while taking Lexapro (escitalopram) or any other antidepressant. First, you are taking a depressant on top of the antidepressant. In addition, the medication needs to maintain a steady blood level to be effective, and alcohol washes the meidcation out of the body, making it less effective or even totally ineffective.
