Lange Blames DUI on Lexapro PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 13 July 2009 15:42

Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange claims he wasn't drunk when he slammed into another car and was arrested for DUI and careless driving on July 10, 2009. However, he hinted on The Howard Stern Show on Sirius that the anti-depressant Lexapro likely was repsonsible for the incident.

Lange's 2009 Nissan Sentra rear-ended a Pontiac Grand Am at Silver Bay and Grand Avenues in Toms River, New Jersey at 1:30 pm. Ironically, he was picking up a prescription for his mother.

Lange says he passed the Breathalyzer test, but was still cited by police. "There was no indication that he was under the influence of illicit drugs," Capt. Steve Henry stated.

The comedian has acknowledged problems with alcohol and drugs in his book Too Fat to Fish, on The Howard Stern Show and in interviews.

On Jan. 2, 2010, Lange attempted to commit suicide in his Hoboken apartment. Despite stabbing himself nine with 13-inch kitchen knife, Lange survived.
