Date: January 14th, 2015 8:04 PM Author: embarrassed to the bone temple 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: embarrassed to the bone temple 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 |

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 2:38 PM Author: swashbuckling tripping base 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). |
