Cymbalta and Naltrexone given for alcohol dependence and depression.?

I had weened down to 5 beers a day and had my anxiety/depression pretty much under control. My wife had decided that that was too much alcohol and had me goto a psych doctor that have given me Cymbalta and Naltrexone. I have been off alcohol for more that a week before starting this mix. Now I can barely muster enough energy to get out of bed am getting more depressed about not being able to function. I’m starting to think the no drugs and a little bit of alcohol to maintain anxiety was a better mix. Any input?

Go back to the doctor and explain how you are feeling. Adjustments in dose or timing can help, or you might need something different.
