Hi Homer,

I have been using Duloxotine for about a year find them very helpful and calming. I have Fibro amongst other things and they help balance my emotions out I still cry at the drop of a hat but I am getting used to that.

Good luck with them x gins

If your ever worried about side effects try taking meds at night at least you get some sleep so don't notice side effects as much hugs xx

I felt dreadful on Duloxetine, so came off it, yet I have a couple of Fibro friends who think it's wonderful. I guess it's really a case of trying it & see how you manage with it. Just because you've had a previous bad experience, it doesn't mean that this will be.

Good luck x

I was on Duloxetine for a fortnight earlier this year. It made me very sleepy and I was out for the count most mornings, only surfacing at lunchtime. I was then more woolly-headed than usual. My GP felt that I'd do better increasing my Amitriptyline instead, so I came off the Duloxetine. I don't know anybody else who's tried it, but all you can do is suck it and see, as with any medication. Keep a record of things if you're worried. I presume your GP wants to see you for a review within the next month?

Hi, I've just started it today! Prescribed by psychiatrist but he knows I also hope it will help the fibro. Will keep you posted.
