can i drink a bottle of wine with AD's?

[alexa1]

Just read the leaflet and no mention of not drinking alcohol with them . they are escitalopram.

er...must it be a bottle?!!

How about a couple of spritzers instead?

\link{ www.healthyplace.com/medications/lexapro.htm#warnings\this website clearly says no alcohol!}

this website clearly says no alcohol!

sorry !

drinking a bottle of anything with medication is a bad idea

alcohol is a depressive

please drink moderately if at all

god, i am losing it!

drinking a bottle of wine with any medication is a bad idea ....

if you do decide to drink alcohol, then start with a glass of wine, not a bottle, to check that your body copes. ADs and alcohol can react unpredictably in combination. And as lulumama says, given that alcohol is a depressant, it's sensible to drink moderately if you are taking ADs.

fio - no i am not out tonight but come friday and i usually crack open a bottle of wine and polish it all off. and sunday too. i am going to find it hard to not drink as it is something i have always done, except in pregnancy.

a bottle of wine is not great with ads.........

if it is hard for you not to drink...then you need to drink as moderately as you can...there are interactions between ads & alcohol...and combined with the depressive effect of alcohol..you will possibly end up feeling a lot worse.....IMO
