Well, that's it I have retired from Duloxetine, and all anti depressant meds for a while.
I had a dr's appointment today and he agreed that because I've tried quite a few meds over the last 3-4 years it'd be a good idea to have a break because I really wasn't getting anywhere with them.
He gave me 10mgs of Propranolol to take 2-3 a day or as I need them because my anxiety is nearly always bad in the mornings, and I can tell after about half an hour of getting up if its going to be a bad day. I'm slightly stressed over these new meds, my heart rate and blood pressure is low anyway, I'm scared the meds will lower it to the point where I pass out or have to be hospitalised.
I'm to keep my supply of Reboxetine, just in case I have to go back on them at a later date.
So, that's it then. Now all I have to do is take each day as it comes, avoid getting stressed (not easy because I have an elderly neighbour who seems to think I'm on call for her at all hours) and try not to let the withdrawals get the better of me.
Thanks Mark and everyone else who replied to my posts and advised me during my time on Duloxetine.
Take care.
Lynn.
