Hi I just wanted to say isn't that rather a lot of diazepam you're taking? Just wondering how long you've been taking it? Hasn't your gp discussed getting you off it? Good luck

I think that the dose of diazepan than Bomber takes is between her and her GP. I imagine that it would be a really bad day if you needed 5mg three times a day? What is right for one patient would not be right for another? To interfere with this is very wrong and not helping Bomber to get well again. EJ. Good luck with reduction of duloxetine Bomber.

Hi there I take duloxatine too and I wondered how long have you taken it?
Ive taken it for 2 - 3years and want to come off it or change meds as I still have the same old problems. Do you have any side effcts?
Have you managed to reduce it yet? I know they make a 30mg tablet you could swap for the 60 at night

Hi I have just been prescribed Duloxetine today. The Dr said to me that you can't compare mg for mg of different medicines because for some 1mg is a massive dose (eg morphine) and in others 100mg is massive. I used to be on Cipramil some years ago where the standard dose is about 20 to 40mg but you can get to 100mg in severe cases. you normally go on 5 or 10mg to go on it. Anyway he said to me that 30mg is the low dose of Duloxetine. let's see how it goes its supposed to have far less bad side effects than some of the older SSRI's and hoping it reduces my anxiety and some of the symptoms of it :)
