Best Answer

Lexapro potentiates (amplifies) the effects of alcohol. That means that if you drink while taking it, effects like confusion, motor skills and depression may be increased. Recommendations are that you have no more than one beer, one glass of wine, or one 1-1/2 oz. drink.

The impact of intoxication rate by mixing other drugs with alcohol can vary depending on the drugs used. Mixing Adderall, for instance, with alcohol can mask the effect and make a person seem less intoxicated, when they are in fact at the same level of intoxication as they would be without the drug; this can often lead to alcohol poisoning.
