Morning folks.

Just emerged from another zopiclone-assisted slumber and had my breakfast (2 slices toast, 1 with Marmite, 1 with pineapple jam + cup of red bush tea) and my 30mg of Duloxetine.

I don't want to say it too loudly, but I think the dulox is starting to actually do something! Crikey, eh? I'm not dancing in the street or anything, but my head feels less inclined to go off the deep end about anything and everything (less often anyway). Maybe going up to 60mg will see more improvement, and then I'll be able to force myself out and about.

Hope everyone is doing ok.. Good luck later Laura!

Oh and Facebook.. ugh.. Even George Orwell wouldn't have predicted it!

Tis im sure its just cause youve messed about with your doses, your body needs to stabilise on a dose which you are doing now so just give it time and use your diazepam to help you thro x x

Thanks Nicola I've got another 11 doses of 30mg left, which is referred to as the 'starting dose'...everyone else seems to be on 60..

Are you settled on your dose of ven or do you plan to attempt an increase again at some point?

Hi tis-me - sorry you are feeling poorly - anxiety is horrid - do you think the Cit is helping you? personally I would go back and see your GP - have you been on it before? Only asking as sometimes second time round they do not work - I have had this happen with Prozac and felt very ill second time on it.

Personally I would defintely not go up a dose whilst the anxiety is bad but go and see your gp and think about reducing or changing.

Good Luck - Laura


Wow - Mr Red - you sound you are doing well - looks like something is happening - will speak to you later!
