Yep, I'm on Lexapro 20mg!. I had alcohol cravings a lot during the first month!. Man I was binging almost!. But I've cut back big time now!. Actually, I barely drink!. Yeah, your doc is right on!. Alcohol + Lexapro = cheap drunk!. 8-!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
I've been taking Lexapro for over a year and a half - and I haven't noticed any more cravings for alcohol after I started taking it!. I've been avoiding alcohol to some degree because it is a depressant - and negates the effects of the Lexapro!.
At my last doctor visit, he asked if I was drinking, and I told him one or two now and then!.!.!. and he said to keep that to a minimum, and preferably none at all!. He's probably right!.!.!. but we gotta live, too!!
I've noticed the same thing Sammy above mentioned - that just two glasses of wine will make me feel crummy the next day!. And it wasn't even cheap wine :-(
Best of Luck to you :-)

Actually, my cravings with Lexipro and Paxil were sugar! And since alcohol turns into sugar, it all makes sense, right!?Ya ever notice that an alcoholic rarely eats dessert!? It's because their craving is satisfied by the alcohol!. But let me give you a warning about indulging in alcohol!. It can and does cancel out the effect of the antidepressent!.!.!.been there and it's the suckiest low I EVER felt!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't take Lexapro, but my Wellbutrin does the same thing!. My doc says a few drinks are fine!. But I always kinda feel like "where's the bar!?
I was on Lexapro briefly (I couldn't tolerate it) and my first DAY of it, I had a couple margaritas, then cooked up a giant meal, invited people over and had a nice party!. I remember none of it!. Just for a laugh--probably wont happen to you!.
One thing I have noticed is I get blinding headaches with wine, but mixed drinks and beer seem fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
