Duloxetine 30mg

[MrsOwen90]

Hey.

I've been suffering from severe anxiety now for 12 weeks, to the point where I have multiple physical symptoms a day which are distressing. I've been on high doses of sertraline which caused suicidal thoughts and extreme agitation for 10 weeks nearly. I have now been put onto duloxetine 30mg and have been on it for 11 days and still not feeling great.

Has anyone had any positive experience with duloxetine and how long did it take to start feeling the effects of it.

I'm currently taking a low dose of lorazepam aswell as zopiclone at night to help me sleep as this is so distressing.

Thanks

I have been on Duloxetine 30mg for a year. Previously I was on varying antidepressants.
Within a few weeks my anxiety dropped & I have been ok since then.
Unfortunately I’m sensitive to all drugs & they lower my sodium levels. I’ve had to reduce Duloxetine to 20mg, but still feel ok.
Hopefully Duloxetine will work well for you too. Its sister drug is Venlafaxine. This drug increased my weight & gave me violent nightmares. This hasn’t happened with Duloxetine. Good Luck.
