[|Human|] I was just prescribed .5 mg or 1/2 tab of Lexapro  to augment the use of Willbutrin SR 150mg (bid) Have taken Wellbutrin for at least 10 years and it has been the only anti-depressant that was effective. d/t many circumstances and stressors, my depression became worse this year. My Psychiatrist recently prescribed Lexapro to augment Wellbrurin (started at .25 mg (1/4 tab) x 1 week, then went to 1/2 mg which I am now on. My question #1) is, b/c it has made me drowsy during the day, could I take it h.s. and perhaps not experience the daytime drowsiness. Question 2) In the past, I usually have a glass of wine at dinnertime or one lager ale. All the literature I have read says that ETOH is not safe with Lexapro.. I had my annual P.E. this week and am in good health. Thanks for any advice you can give me.
[|AI|]  Hello.  Thank you for your question.... it is a good one! First, I would like to clarify the Learn dosage. The lowest dose manufactured is a 5 mg tablet... so perhaps when you say 0.5 mg you really mean 5 mg? In any case, it is perfectly okay, and in fact wise, to take your Learn at bedtime. Regarding the ETON.... nearly every medicine in the mental health realm has a warning about alcohol. To be honest, in the real world (or perhaps a world where lawyers don't exist), it is likely to be perfectly safe to Chat Doctor. Best of Luck.... and hope this answer helps.
