I started duloxetine 5 days ago for anxiety and depression. Today is not a very good day, I seem to have lost all motivation and my anxiety is through the roof with intrusive thoughts as well. I have really struggled over the past 2 years to find a medication to control my anxiety and I really suffer with side effects - mainly increased anxiety.

I have just taken a diazepam in the hope it takes the edge of a little.

I may start a little diary to chart my progress, if I manage to stay the course on this one!!
