...so I think I'll be changing my meds again. I've got an appointment with my favourite GP in 9 days time - till then I'll keep taking the duloxetine at 60mg.

This past week, with no major stress at all, has seen a big increase in my agitation and physical anxiety symptoms (shakes, cold sweats, chills, tight throat etc).

On the plus side I'm not ruminating or obsessing as I once was but I was off sick today because the anxiety was so bad. My only mental fears at the moment are caused by the physical symptoms and the belief the drug is "pooping out" on me.

It was at the same 4 month point that pregabalin stopped working too, although I was up and down on that where I've been constantly "OK" on duloxetine.

I want to change before it gets worse though. No point in waiting until I go back to square one.
