Can I take 90 and Duloxetine together?

Why this happens

Both duloxetine and alcohol are processed by the liver. Combining them puts extra strain on the liver, which can lead to injury. Additionally, both substances affect the central nervous system; when taken together, they have an 'additive' effect, meaning they significantly increase drowsiness and impair your coordination and judgement.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking duloxetine. You should never drink heavily or engage in 'binge drinking' while on this medication. If you choose to have a drink, keep it to a very small amount and see how you feel, but be aware that your tolerance will be much lower. If you have a history of liver problems or heavy alcohol use, you must speak to your doctor before taking these together.
