It's an ssnri medication and I am on a similar one called Prisitq. They are relatively new medications and it has been helpful for me.

I started duloxetine last year after fluoxetine stopped working for me. It’s been the best anti depressant I’ve ever taken and has been very effective in managing my depression.

Far fewer side effects than SSRI’s! The side effect that I remember were very vivid dreams but these weren’t as bad when the dose was reduced from 60mg to 40mg.
