Duloxotine tiredness

[jb2112]

I've been taking 120mg of duloxotine for two weeks - 60 in evening and 60 in morning. Problem is...at about 2-3pm I get an unbelievable tiredness and cannot really keep my eyes open . Has anyone else had this? And how did u resolve it? I've also started to have bad trembling since starting duloxotine .

Thanks
JB

Sorry you got no replies till now, I don't think there are many folk on this drug.

Are you taking it for depression? I only ask because from what I read, it's once a day (morning) for GAD.

As for the tiredness, fortunately I booked 3 days off work, most of which I've spent in bed, too tired to move far - not sleepy though, just exhausted.

That could be coming off the pregabalin though, too.

You may want to experiement with your dosage time, that's all I can suggest.

I took pregabalin twice a day and I found I had to space them 10-12 hours apart otherwise I got terrible side effects. I know it's a different drug, but the principal should be the same.
