My psychiatrist advises against too much as you're starting to counteract the effects especially if you're on a low dose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-here-on-lexapro-or-another-ssri#post-2699082 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 20:33:56 +0000 ladybee 2699082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-here-on-lexapro-or-another-ssri#post-2699054 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 18:47:42 +0000 meredithNYC 2699054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I'm on a low dose and I'm not a big drinker, though - usually a glass or two of wine is enough for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-here-on-lexapro-or-another-ssri#post-2699036 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 17:51:58 +0000 Coral 2699036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-here-on-lexapro-or-another-ssri#post-2699033 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 17:20:35 +0000 gotkimchi 2699033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Paddington10: I've see. serotonin syndrome and they were on about 6 meds that all raise serotonin if that makes you feel any better </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-here-on-lexapro-or-another-ssri#post-2698956 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 15:14:29 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2698956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I was on 10mg (I think? This was 4+ years ago..) and I did have a drink here and there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-here-on-lexapro-or-another-ssri#post-2698916 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 14:21:03 +0000 ustechie 2698916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Paddington10: I'm so glad you asked this as I've been wondering the same thing! Glad to hear I can enjoy a glass here and there. 😉 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-here-on-lexapro-or-another-ssri#post-2698912 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 14:13:08 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2698912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Paddington10: I agree with @IRunForFun: start slow and move on from there. I reacted really strongly to only 10mg in the first week. I had horrible headaches, dry mouth, and overall felt crappy. I pushed through and I'm so glad I did. 6 months in and I feel so much better about my anxiety. I very much hope Lexapro works out for you because it has really been a life saver for me.</p> <p>I started off slow...a glass of wine here and there, then I upped it to a glass more often, and now I'm back to my nightly glass of red wine with DH. It's lovely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-here-on-lexapro-or-another-ssri#post-2698906 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 13:58:31 +0000 IRunForFun 2698906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and yes. Didn't drink while on it and pregnant but have had a small glass of wine (like 3 or 4 ozs) most nights the past week now that I'm a month postpartum. I was on it before pregnancy too and drank much more than that in a sitting from time to time or a larger glass of wine with dinner more regularly with no issue. Alcohol + SSRI won't give you serotonin syndrome. Some people report stuff like dizziness and nausea, but if you are nervous about that just start small and see how you feel - like have a couple ounces of wine or half a beer. I feel like I shouldn't be pushing something that has a label against it but...sometimes you just need a glass of wine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-here-on-lexapro-or-another-ssri#post-2698905 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 13:56:42 +0000 sunnyday 2698905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Celexa and only one glass of wine, no problems </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-here-on-lexapro-or-another-ssri#post-2698899 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 13:48:14 +0000 RonjaL7 2698899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on Zoloft. I haven't had more than 2 glasses (probably fairly large) of wine in a night since on it. In fact I haven't been drunk since having kids because a hangover sounds horrible these days. I haven't had any issues with light drinking awhile on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-here-on-lexapro-or-another-ssri#post-2698894 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 13:41:18 +0000 Paddington10 2698894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi 2Peas! -- the latter. I am newly on it now and wondering if it's safe to drink. It says on the label not to but my doctor was like, yes, you can. Then I googled "serotonin syndrome" which was a side effect in the packet, and your serotonin can get too high on it if combined with another substance. (I'm on a low dose - 10mg). So now I'm anxious about it (which is why I'm on the pill...ha!) Thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-here-on-lexapro-or-another-ssri#post-2698884 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 13:31:24 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2698884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha...that was a super short and simple answer. DH and I have a glass of wine pretty much every night. I'm on a very low dose of Lexapro, and have been for about 6 months. Are you just starting? Thinking about going on it? On it already and are just wondering what you can and can't do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-here-on-lexapro-or-another-ssri#post-2698882 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 13:30:08 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2698882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-here-on-lexapro-or-another-ssri#post-2698881 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 13:29:00 +0000 Paddington10 2698881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If so, do you/can you drink alcohol while on it? </p>
