Sooo much stuff to read and understand about other folks struggles while on C! Alcohol, STAY AWAY!!!!!!!! Had no idea how the mixture was affecting me! I have almost ruined relationships with crazy rants, etc. not to mention what I have probably done to my own health and well being. Could go on and on, but it's just too much for now! Just a word to the wise or not so wise! STAY off the alcohol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Probably not making a lot of sense, but TMI going on in my head! Info overload along with guilt, etc!!!! Hoping to help anyone in any way in the struggle!!! Clara :>)

Clara. I never drank to excess before Cymbalta. This drug enabled me to want to get stupid drunk, and  fast.  Be careful.

Thanks, this moment!!! Learned my lessons well! God bless!

Clara don't feel guilty about a side effect of the medication. It's not something you could choose. But now you know.

Nattsie. For me, once I started drinking I didn't know when (or how) to stop. I was never like that before Cymbalta, and I am not like that now. It was unique to the Cymbalta. It's spooky.

The alcohol thing and Cymbalta was kind of a wild card.  The brochure cautions to avoid alcohol (and perhaps this is just me), but I was shocked by how easily I could get carried away. Better now, though. Whew!

Totally unbelievable how the beer or whatever mixes with the Sinbalta!!! I'm taking the "step down" one day at a time! God bless you ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Clara]

A good day today with no SINbalta!!! Hmmm, wonder what tomorrow will bring!!!! Stay strong out there folks!!!!

[fishinghat]

One day less to worry about Clara. Things will continue to get better.

I am avoid every kind of drinking except coffee; I have a problem I eat too much! I don't know if is a effect of the cymbolta or if is just me but I crave sugar so bad?

[equuswoman]

Ape from what I've learned here on the forum Cymbalta can cause us to crave certain foods...I am a sugar addict anyhow...Hang in there!

I'm a little late to this discussion, but I just noticed this, and thought I'd share an article I found early on in my withdrawal .... I was researching what supplements I needed, and had googled each of my cravings .... Here's what I found out about my sugar cravings ....
