> My fiance has panic attacks & the dr just prescribed Lexapro........I'm slightly concerned about side effects of this drug as well as liquor effects. can anyone tell me if it is alright to drink while on this, a few beers or does he not take the Lexapro if he knows he will be drinking later on.

> ThanksI take 10 mg of Lex for depression and have had anxiety as a side effect of the Lex recently. I have continued a moderate social drinking schedule - after discussing in detail w/ my doctor - and I have noticed no difference. Moderation is KEY - one glass of wine with dinner - one or two beers and that's it. These drugs definately aren't something you'd want to mix lots of alcohol with . . .
