I have been able to drink in moderation on lexapro (3 or 4 beers when out with friends) and havent noticed anything different..if anything i think it feels like i am less affected by alcohol than i was before taking lexapro..but thats just me..i wouldnt go out hell bent on getting drunk while on the med though..thats probably not a good idea..
> My p-doc made a big deal about me drinking while on lex, (i think more bcos of my dual diagnosis than medication) but i've had a few drinks and been fine...sometimes after a few sips, i don't even want to drink anymore (which is weird for me) and in general the past few months i haven't wanted to drink much at all...in moderation i doubt it would cause any serious problems
