Duloxetine 30mg it's working with my depression and anxiety brilliantly I managed to handle the side effects at the start and found a time to take it that also suited me and help me sleep I currently take it at 2pm but my sleep pattern is coming back where I'm wide awake from 11.30pm onwards do I need to review with my DR and perhaps go to 60mg or try taking it mornings. I have been on Veneflaxine also in the past but it made me manic and I was doing stuff that was totally out of character I took this anti depressant every morning.. any advice would be amazing right now x

Hi. Sorry I’m not familiar with the drugs you mention, but taking it in the morning seems like it’s worth a try. It’s miserable not being able to sleep, so I hope things work out for you.

As I said, I don’t know, but if you think the 30mg is stopping you from sleeping, maybe ask about reducing the dose, not increasing?

Take care 🙂
