I would speak to either your Pharmacist or your GP as they will be able to advise you if these are normal side affects, and if they should have started working by now. x

I've taken it for years and still have a jumping heartbeat sometimes but I thought it was from another med. Provigil which helps fight daytime sleepiness. Don't know if it's really working anymore for pain or depression. No other side effects tho. I might ask Dr. to raise dosage. I also take Norco. Good luck. M.A. in USA

hello, i am on 90mg of this and i have many of the same issues, very vivid dreams, my sleep is worse, jumping heart, its hard to know if they are new symptoms or side affects, i told my GP it wasnt going well but he wanted me to push through for another 6 weeks, however it still isnt improving, i am going to be asking him to change my medication (again) as most anti depressants do not work well with me, i had maybe a day where my sleep was good and low level pain but it is right back to the normal again now.

i hope this helps somehow, and that you are all having a pleasant day xox

Hello , I was taking Dulotine and it wasn’t working for me. I went to a holistic therapist and she told me about magnesium supplements. Once I incorporated magnesium in my regimen of medications I saw a difference in how I felt. Ask your Dr about magnesium.
