Starting Duloxetine

[MrRedShirt]

Update:
Well, I've been on 60mg for about three weeks, having been on 30mg for the previous 3 weeks or so.

Duloxetine has been really good for me.

I still have moment of wobbliness, but on the whole I feel pretty much normal - maybe 95%? This feeling has built over the past week or two. I haven't even thought about diazepam during this period. I just hope it continues to build.

I am still on the zopiclone as my tinnitus is causing my sleep to be tricky - I tried a night without it recently and I had an awful night, and it almost undid all the positive effects of the duloxetine the next day. I'll need to speak to the doctor about a long-term solution to sleep. Previously the mirtazapine helped me sleep (although came nowhere near the duloxetine in helping sort the anxiety).

I still occasionally jittery, but this is easing off and is nowhere near the level it was when I started.

Oh the whole, I give duloxetine the thumbs up! I just hope it continues
