Lexapro AND Alcohol for Social Phobia?

Posted by Shrink-Wrapped on April 19, 2010, at 13:36:01

I started taking Lexapro to deal with public speaking issues and anxiety in social situations. The Lexapro has helped to calm me down when not in social situations (I am able to sleep during the nights leading up to a dreaded event), but I find that I still need, or at least think I need to drink (lots) to be comfortable when socializing. This tells me that the Lexapro probably is not doing what it is intended to do.

Has anyone else had debilitating social phobias and suffered from Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)? Any recommendations for a medication or treatment that might help so I can quit using alcohol as a crutch?
