While taking escitalopram, you should avoid alcohol as it can increase the risk of side effects like drowsiness and dizziness. Additionally, avoid using non-prescribed medications, especially those that affect serotonin levels, such as other antidepressants or supplements like St. John's Wort, without consulting your doctor. It's also important to discuss with your healthcare provider before starting any new medications to prevent potential interactions.
