My doctor has put me on Duloxetine 20mg, feeling spaced out, sick and shaking more than normal, has anyone been on this before and has it worked?

Hi there I was put on this a few months back I am 60mg one tablet, as each individual is different we can react to different meds , for me I reacted to sertraline and had to come off , could you ring 111 for some advice now and then speak to your surgery at 8 in the morning, take care I know it can be very frightening having a reaction x

Half the side effects I already suffer from so I've decided there not for me x

I'm on 60mg and over time these effects subside and you do not notice them. I been on this over a year and I am now fine after having the same side effects as you, can not remember exactly but I think it took aboput 2 months.

Hi, I was put on these last year, when I asked GP for more pain relief, I only lasted three or four days and had to stop taking them. I was having really bad nightmares, hallucinations, and I became very angry and aggressive, and made me perspire really badly. I was told they affect everyone differently. Hope they work for you, and give you the relief you need. Paperman
