Hi everyone - Haven't been on in awhile as my anxiety and depression finally seem to be under control... but last night something odd happened. I was at a concert and all of the sudden got very dizzy, passed out and was seizing a little. It didn't last long, but it scared me and everyone I was with. My head feels a little foggy today but other than I'm seem to be okay. I had a little to drink but was not drunk. I was thinking that it might have been the combo of that with the lexapro? Anyone ever have something similar happen?

Thanks for any input!

Hi JRF,

I am so sorry to hear this.:( Were you taken to a medic/ER?

That sounds unusual. I often drank while taking Lexapro with no ill effects.

Any history of hypotension? Seizure disorders? Was your drink always within your sight?

Be interesting to hear what your GP thinks.

I did not. I wouldn't let them call 911... I came around and made it for the remainder of the night.

No history of anything like that. I have passed out in the past (only 2 other times over the span of 10+ years) and it seemed to always be heat related. I see my GP in a couple of week - curious to what she'll say, too!

I've had no dramas drinking with Lexapro

Hi

I would suggest this is something you need to mention to your GP the next time you see them.

She said she has an upcoming appointment in 2 weeks...is that right JRF?

...but please go in sooner if you have any more/other symptoms, okay?
