Question : is it safer to have ocassional drinks with the drug lexapro or celexa? thank you!
Brief Answer:
can increase the risk of dizziness, drowsiness, confusion
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible for interaction to occur between alcohol and either medication- lexapro or celexa.
Some persons may not have any issues but this is not the case for everyone.
There is an increased chance of dizziness, drowsiness, confusion if alcohol is used with either medication.
These effects can occur in some persons, if any of these is used singly but if combined, the chance is increased
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
