Lexapro and Alcohol?
My pharmacist said its better not to drink when you first start taking Lexapro.
The Lexapro website says to avoid alcohol.
Does anyone know a specific answer. I soak up drinking, and I have to pilfer Lexapro everyday, does this mean I can't drink for the in one piece time i'm taking it. And my doctor said its fine also. I'm probably going to be taking this medication for months. Also he gave me Zantax for when i own anxiety attacks. Is it ok to take a Zantax if i've taken my dosage of Lexapro that daylight?
Answers:
Both Lexapro and alcohol work in your medium nervous system (CNS)... primarily the alcohol will just grounds additional 'CNS' effects similar to someone else stated...Probably not the best idea to do since , again close to someone else said... alcohol doesn't really increase your mood ...and if on Lexapro, you'd be working against your medicine..(but really, a cup of wine every 2 - 3 days or less or a beer on the weekend probably not a big accord, just don't do every afternoon or 'binge' style... It's your call on whether you want your Lexapro to be unadulterated effective, or 'so-so' effectual by drinking alcohol with it)..
Regards to the Zantax (Xanax-alprazolam), as long as your doc know you are on both... should be fine at the dose you were prescribed.. Timing of doses do not situation either since they don't physically act in response and work on different conditions through different mechanisms...
