Hello,
The Cymbalta and alcohol would interact. They both increase the toxicity of each other, this means that they would potentially increase any side effects that either would cause.
The Cymbalta may eventually help with sleep as it improves mood. You should speak to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
