I am on Lexapro and my doctor told me it was not a good idea. It can allready make you drowsy and unaware. Just think if you drink.

I don't have any personal story to share, wish I did, to tell you about what I learned from taking an antidepressant and then drinking alcohol but I can tell you that it is not okay to do it!!! It says it right on the bottle, no way!!! Not a good choice, find something else you can drink and have fun without drinking liquor! It is ok to drink water, juice, milk etc with Lexapro or any other antidepressant,haha!! ; )

no it's not....
honestly, though, i occasionally drink when i'm on an antidepressant....but only one drink....and nothing bad has happened....but it could.
could be dangerous.
alcohol's a depressant, so you'd think it would just temporarily cancel out the effects of an antidepressant....but i'm told that's incorrect.

No it is not ok to drink on any anti-depressant. It can actually make you more depressed and suicidal

It should be. They have to say warnings to get off of any legal issues.

No. Alochol is a depressant, it could make you even more depressed.
