I have this feeling there was a connection for me b/w first Celexa and then Lexapro and alcohol cravings/increased consumption. It's weird. I never had such fierce cravings nor drank as much as I did until the last few years I was on these drugs. I don't know.
Also, they didn't work very well while I was drinking.
When I stopped drinking 6 months ago, I think they started working as they should and now I am working on lowering my dosage.
