I’d tell your doctor right away, because that isn’t normal. Alcohol interacts with antidepressants in weird ways, and any antidpressant that causes such violent mood swings ought to be mentioned to your doctor.

Sorry to say this but nothing can stop it…yet.
From what you have described it seems you have a rare form of ‘cydotheripia’ occasionally occurs in people after cancer treatment. Nearly all cancer treatment have a certain chemical in which can react with alcohol to produce a type of poison. It’s such a weak poison that usally people don’t have a reaction to it …but in your case you do.
All I can say is “stop drinking alcohol” but if you ever vomit when you get this ‘shaking occurence’ call 999 straight away.
Good luck xxx.
