[QUOTE="kaup, post: 2093929, member: 47988"] Hey, I have had depression since I got Diabetes 1, 15 years ago. During a point in my life, I was on Cymbalta for my Depression which helped me. But the withdrawal effects were difficult. I have also self-medicated with alcohol which has helped. But I realized it is not the way to go. The issue is that when I have a few glasses of beer my depression is gone. And when I was on Cymbalta antidepressants during 6 months I had never felt better. But since I quit Cymbalta for over 4 years ago. I have felt depressed. However natural medicine like meditation, diet and exercise has helped to cope with my Diabetes 1. But none as good as alcohol and antidepressants. However, I do not want to start taking antidepressants again due to side effects. And I do not want to drink alcohol. Anyone else has any similar experiences or stories with handling depression/anxiety caused by Diabetes 1 with alcohol or antidepressants [/QUOTE]
