Duloxetine for pain and anxiety.

[Rebel1961]

I have been prescribed Duloxetine for pain, anxiety and depression. I have fibromyalgia and FND. I was taking 20mg twice a day, morning and evening but it was no longer effective. About a month ago the doctor raised it to 60mg, but said I must take 40 mg at night and 20mg in the morning. I am feeling unsettled still and wondering if it would be better to take 60mg just at night. Can anyone offer me any guidance please? Thank you in advance 🙂

Hi there, I am sorry but no one here is qualified to answer your question. The best person to ask would be your GP. Failing that why not have a word with a pharmacist.

hi Rebel1961

My doctor told me to take 60mg as soon as I wake up. I was on 30mg first but increased 2 months ago but last week with out Realising I had been taking the 30mg I had left for 2 days and as you can imagine the impact was a big Flareup and pain in every muscle in my body. I have not been to bad since.

I hope this helps

Kindest regards
