Can you drink while on Cymbalta?

Answer 1

i have the same question

i have been for over a year now. and its been fine.

but last night i felt as if someone slipped me a tranquillizer in my drink, i couldn't keep my eyes open, and like my legs felt like jello. then i started crying uncontrollably.

you should always avoid alcohol when on anti-depressants, as it eventually will start counter acting the drug and screw up your head and make you do insane things.

Answer 2

In the instructions enclosed with these tablets you are advised not to drink alcohol. You can speak to your doctor about this. I am currently taking this medicine and did used to drink more regularly before taking these tablets.I found they helped me drink less.I do still drink on them sometimes (which I probably shouldn't). You cannot predict how you will feel after drinking and taking these.Sometimes you feel OK, sometimes I have had a nasty hangover/headache and got very drunk. It is also quite probable that the alcohol will not enable the tablets to work as effectively, same as if you took Pro Plus or many other tablets with the anti-depressants.
