What is the danger associated with mixing Lexapro and alcohol?

by Admin on November 5, 2009

There are indications on Lexapro prescription bottles, and on the Lexapro website that you should "avoid" mixing it with alcohol. What are the specific reasons for this indication?

No real "danger". The reason not to use them together is that Lexapro is an anti-depressant and Alcohol is labeled as a Depressant. While you can get an initial up feeling while drinking, the down feeling is lower than if you hadn’t drank.

The two cancel out each other

Liver damage, increased potency to alcohol. You may black out, fall asleep, wake up getting your stomached pumped in the ER. U know the usual suspects.
