Duloxetine

[merlinmac]

Hi Paige,

I have taken Duloxetine for 10 years. I take the highest dose of 120mg slow release once a day in the morning. I am very susceptible to drugs but apart from piling weight on I have had none. It keeps me sane. I also take Amitryptyline 20mg at night and 30/500 Codeine phosphate Paracetamol.

I have taken Tramadol and I found that good but I believe it is a opiate and hard to get off. I had no trouble coming off it.

I think you have to try all to find what suits you as everyone is different. Although I think we are all the same with this fibromyalgia problem.

I have tried Gabapentin and found that zonked me out. Other people find it’s fantastic.

As a long sufferer of fibromyalgia I would say try everything offered and if the side effects are terrible go back to GP and tell him/her.

We are all suffering everyday but you can always chat to someone here.

Good luck and hope pain, tingles, etc get easier

Best wishes

Cynthia
