Re: Advice about duloxetine side effects
Hi Sproutly.. I was prescribed this drug too for neuropathic pain (joint pain and muscle aches), I was told it would help with my anxiety too. I'm afraid I only lasted 6 days on 30mg because I couldn't handle the side effects for any longer but mine were different to yours. I found I COULDN'T sleep and was only getting 3hrs a night. The nausea and headaches were horrendous and I was completely spaced out all day. In that short time, it did work very well for my pain though. I looked on several forums to see what other peoples experiences were and generally, it sounds really good for anxiety. Therefore, I would give it a bit longer if I were you if the SE's aren't unbearable. My pharmacist told me it would take a few days at least for the SE's to wear off but 6 days without sleep was enough for me!
