I feel like a zombie

I think it more likely the quetiapine is the main reason you feel like a zombie, not the duloxetine.
yeah I was worried about that... 😩 I have to take quetiapine nightly just to sleep because of damn neighbours 😩

Quetiapine is highly sedating so maybe try taking only 25mg to see whether it's enough to do the trick without anesthetizing your brain.
The problem is quetiapine has a longish half-life so the sedation can continue well into the next day. This is why I believe the very short half-life immediate-release trazodone (Desyrel) is the better insomnia treatment, but I understand the NHS bureaucrats aren't fans so GPs can't prescribe it for insomnia. Pity :weep:
good shout, I was thinking the same thing actually. I will try it and see if it works!! eventually I want to come off the damn stuff and not have to rely on it! Xx
