my own personal experiences w/ lexapro weren't very great--i stopped taking it after about 2 weeks and i don't think that you're recommended to drink while you're on it. i feel the same way about not wanting others to wander why i quit drinking/ that i started a medication. i, personally, have found that the effexor isn't affecting the drinking as much as anything else i've been on. i actually quit taking the lexapro after a night of drinking a pretty tolerable amount for me and i blacked out like i never have before. i am not posting this to scare you away from it by any means. that's just my experiences w/ it and w/ the drinking part. on a more positive level though, my cousin is 17 years old and he was having a lot of trouble w/ suicide/ social anxiety and i believe that lexapro has changed his life. he's been on it for about 6 months and he is doing 100% better. so don't let everything you read scare you away from taking it. take care and good luck!!~
