I've recently been on lexapro for around a month. I have noticed it is helping with anxiety and some depression, however I am concerned about my recreational drinking and the occasional use of marijuana while on this medication.
I don't want to get off the meds so I can drink etc, but I guess i'm a young student who is going to be faced with situations where alcohol is always readily available.
I have noticed that the effects of alcohol are more pronounced on lexapro, and know now that I am going to have to limit myself if i drink on the meds..
I guess my question is, is it best that i'm medicated if I want to partake in social drinking and the occasional joint.. or are the risks reason enough to get off this medication.. I know I want my cake and wish to eat it to and I'm sure people are faced with this dilemma quite often..
any comments appreciated
