I'm on a low dose of prednisone (7.5mg) because of an endocrine disorder. I have heard that alcohol causes problems when used with prednisone. I am turning 21 soon and I want see if it's ok to drink small amounts since I'm on such a low dose.

Also, I take Cymbalta, Levothroid and Necon. I have never heard of any interactions with these but if anyone knows of any bad reactions from alcohol with these drugs, please let me know.

It's not a good idea to drink with prednisone as both prednisone and alcohol are very hard on your liver. While a few drinks are unlikely to cause any major damage, it's still a risk.

It's also unadvised to take Cymbalta and alcohol. Many people drink when taking SSRI's, but again, it's not a good idea.

Personally, I wouldn't risk it without first talking to your prescribing physician.
