> Hello Jay, I got this information from the pathologist after the autopsy. My son-in-law has the printed imformation, honestly, I don't know where it was from, and just did give the information back to my son-in-law. We cannot get an apt until Dec 8th or afterto go over the results, as our pathologist is on vacation. We didnt' get the infromation from an online site, but I'm sure it must be out there somewhere. I even wrote to the company that makes Lexapro, and they have her a case number assigned, but then never, never did they return any information to me--back then -the end of 2002 or into 2003--and I wrote to them many times. As I said, at that time, there was no lab that could test for lexapro. Now we have results, and it can be added to the death certificate. She had alchol in her system as well, and I know it was a deadly combination. I feel they did not council well enough---but, I am a layman and do not undersand the information we just recieved. I will know more later, but in my gut feeling, there should be more stronger warnings and information give to those who take this drug.
> For what ever reason, hers was, because of panic attacks. We had a shop and were robbed--she could not get over being afraid.

> garlandHi Garland, I am very sorry to hear about your daughter. God bless you and your family. I just started Lexapro less and a week ago, and my doctor did not mention the use of alcohol at all--whether it was safe or not to use in conjunction with the medicine.
