I don't know what male34 is talking about. Lexapro is an SSRI (not an MAOI), almost the same as celexa. You can drink on it though you may want to cut back a bit as you start because it could intensify the INITIAL side effects. Also, you may want to consider cutting back on drinking as it can lead to more depression but you know better than I do how alcohol effects your mood, everyone is different so see how it goes.
You can take most cough medicines, just not ones with dextrametha-something.
