I Am On Lexapro And I Understand That It Is

I am on Lexapro and I understand that it is a SSRI which can trigger the S-3 to cause me to have a craving for alcohol. I have noticed that since being on Lexapro I am drinking more than I care but the craving is there. I have read that changing to a drug like Mirtazapine might be a solution. Is there any truth to my reading and research?
