An unsolicited thought about Cymbalta...took it for about a year - for some reason, I seemed to crave alcohol while I took it - had liver enzyme tests, everything was, and still is, fine...my only issue with Cymbalta is that getting off of it was rather rough as I quit it cold turkey. That took about two months to get back to somewhat normal. I knew I was playing with fire, drinking along side of meds - didn't seem to want to stop. When the cymbalta stopped, so did the alcohol craving. Maybe related, maybe not. Just consider that one day you may not want to be on that med, and the wind down from it, even medically supervised, is a long and complicated one. Best to you.
