Hey, proudmary,
I can only tell you that for me having an occasional glass of white wine with my dinner has never caused me to have a bad result from
my Lexapro.
But for me it has always been the timing. I have been taking psych meds for years and just adjust the timing to fit my lifestyle.
I normally take my Lexapro and other meds at bedtime with a cracker and some water. If I had the chance to go out with friends and have a nice dinner with a glass of wine, I just take my meds the next morning with breakfast. ( that way if any nausea is possible, it is buffered by the food-usually just a grandola bar and milk.)Find what works for you and know that you have might have to be on these meds for a long time and you need to control how and when you take them and as long as they are within safe time limits(most have long half-lives in the blood stream) you can take them when it least negatively impacts your lifestyle...
A toast to you, Mary, wherever you are...
