I took duloxetine for years. To the point that it was no longer working. Coming off of it was scary. My doctor tapered me down, somewhat, but I felt like I had the flu for weeks. It changed my brain too (while coming off of it)it made me angry and feel like people were going to attack me. I am so glad to be off of it! Took about 2 months to finally rid my system of it.
