I Need Information About Duloxetine

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Kent in England

I have just started on Duloxetine Cymbalta. Are other people taking this? Does it help, how? What sort of dose do you take? Are there long term side affects. I have only been on this drug eight days and I can’t stay awake, it has taken away my motivation feeling more depressed. Like it says on the package. I hope there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

@A MyFibroTeam Member, Are still on Duloxetene? Did your symptoms improve? I've been on it for 4 years now 60mg in the morning. I passed through the adjustment period of a couple of months. I got good results. It messed with my sleep. Now it's okay.

I don’t feel sleepy but I have no motivation and keep going to bed. I feel more depressed at the moment. I’m hoping it will be worth it. Thanks for replying.
