Date: January 14th, 2015 8:04 PM Author: twinkling pea-brained stage Weird. When I first went to a dr about anxiety years ago and I told him I drank he tried to steer me to antidepressants bc I could drink on them much more safely than with benzos. I can drink fine on benzos as long as I leave 4+ hours in between them and alcohol. Guess you don't really have that lag time option with lexapro (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2782677&forum_id=2#27118014) |

|
Date: January 16th, 2015 11:21 AM Author: twinkling pea-brained stage dr said it was nbd to drink on lexapro. Sounds like it is an issue for some people.
Not a good idea to drink right after taking a benzo, but benzos wear off in a few hours so I've never had a problem drinking the same day as taking a benzo provided I waited 4+ hours. With lexapro, you can't just plan out a 4 hour buffer |

Date: January 15th, 2015 2:37 PM Author: galvanic nudist garrison You're thinking of Prozac, which takes forever to start working. Lexapro is like a super-fast prozac. When I tried Prozac, I didn't feel anything for a week and a half, so I stopped. When I started taking Lexapro, I felt it within an hour or two. I'm still taking it today (about 6 months later).

I've been a super small dose for a decade. I drink as much as I always have so no issue there. I also have no real sexual side effects but initially it made me take forever to cum |
|
Date: January 15th, 2015 1:41 PM Author: twinkling pea-brained stage I can already feel it. Not happier or manic or anything but I feel a little dazed with a very slight headache. I've tried stuff like buspar and every herbal supplement under the sun and felt nothing from most of them so don't think it's placebo (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2782677&forum_id=2#27122601) |

Date: January 15th, 2015 2:38 PM Author: galvanic nudist garrison Lexapro bro checking in: You will feel relaxed and happy. Yes, you'll get drunk much more quickly. You will also feel kind of tired.
Also, when you first start taking Lexapro, you will feel brain fog. When I started taking Lexapro, the brain fog was pretty bad for a day or two, then started to taper off. The brain fog will clear out completely after the first few weeks of taking the drug.
EDIT: I forgot the dick thing. Your dick won't get hard on Lexapro, although - a few months from now - you'll notice that it is able to get hard when you haven't taken Lexapro in 24 hours (i.e. right before you're supposed to take your next dose). |

I feel more relaxed but things aren't crazy at work right now so hard to say whether it's working yet. No brain fog, actually much more clear headed as anxiety often fucks with my concentration.
