>The problem with meds + drinking is it alters how much of the drug is in your blood, so you will never have a stable amount of Lexapro in your system to know if you need more or if it's actually doing any good.
As Phil says it may be a good idea not to take Lexapro the same day you are drinking, but who knows.
Cheers,
