    Opposite for me. It worked for 2011 to just recently 2024 july.
    I've upped my dose but I'm still crying.
    Even worse, I'm 62 years old and lift weights to help my depression. I'm pretty strong, deadlifting over 400lbs.
    I didn't realize how well deloxitine relieved my muscle and joint pain.
    😢 Now my depression is back and cry over a sad movie and i have unbearable pain.
    I'm starting to use ibuprofen which i dislike because of potential harm.
    Use it if it works. It's been great for me.
    Life is harder with out it, if you know what i mean. Pain and sadness is a hard way to live.
    God bless and i hope this helps someone.
    ✌️🙏☺️
    Ps remember, your body and brain will take a few weeks to get used to it. So give it a chance. Definitely worth it if it works for you.
    I did run out and didn't prepare, so I did go thru the side effects of quick stoppage of meds. But if you know it's coming, it's easy to deal with.
    Just don't be like me and order your refill before you run out.
    Good luck.✌️

    On it: extreme introvert, hyper fixated on certain stuff, will put everything off that doesn't interest me or find excuses not to do it, dreads leaving the house for any reason & can't tolerate being in social settings for long periods of time without losing my cool. Over all not depressed, and my mind is quiet for once my ADHD is actually tolerable my head space feels peaceful.
    Miss dosage or if I take it later than I should: Violent mood swings, thoughts of wanting to murder someone (usually a certain individual who wronged me and caused me to have a mental break down and have to be on this shit meds in the first fucking place I won't say the person name) obsessive & intrusive thoughts. Extreme negative downward spiral of negative suicidal thoughts, agitation, easily annoyed over anything and everything. (this is coming from a person who doesn't have anger issues just depression and anxiety) this med makes me fucking crazy and I hate it..... But if I manage to take it on time my mind is quiet which is something I'm not use to my ADHD has always made me overthink 24/7 so it's weird not having my mind constantly thinking about stuff.

      I’ve not been diagnosed with adhd, but I have major depressive disorder and cptsd, anxiety, and just started this med a month ago….and I was able to complete tasks that I was struggling to get done. That alone is helping me feel better. My blood pressure is now borderline, but I’d rather treat that along with taking cymbalta because my headspace is so much better and I can focus.

    The most important thing to know about duloxetine before taking it is that you could have extremely bad brain zaps for months after tapering off. It is absolutely not worth it, if you've never experienced these before there just is no way to describe how miserable they make you and how badly they affect your life and yet since they aren't common knowledge you likely won't get sympathy from your employer about it

    My husband was on this almost a year for elbow pain from injury. He felt ok for a week then got insanely anhedonic. They bumped his dose up saying he was depressed from the pain, he was a zombie. He tried tapering with miserable side effects, a week ago he just stopped and as of tonight is in full blown delusional and aggressive psychosis and rhinks ges fine!. Look up the patient experiences, suits against Eli Lily etc. These drs should be ashamed of pushing this drug knowing the company has been ruining lives for over a decade. It acts similar to tramadol and it does affect opiate receptors while suppressing dopamine. There is no good in this drug or the "professionals" that push them.

    I recently came off of Lexapro about 2 months after 4 years of taking it until it stopped working. My doctor wants me to start taking cymbalta, and I'm uncertain about taking it. Mostly the fear of the side effects. I tried celexa after the Lexapro, and all it did was gave me insomnia (not staying asleep) bad dreams, and sense of losing control of my thoughts and feelings

    • @LyndseyEnsor
      @LyndseyEnsor 23 дня назад

      Were you taking the Celexa in the morning? I find that most doctors don't even know what they're prescribing - they've never taken this stuff before. A low-dose of celexa helped me. However the first couple days I had a little insomnia. I try to take it first thing in the morning to curve that issue.

    This stuff has been amazing for me. It took 2-3 months for it to stabilize me. I titrated myself to 40 mg. Separating the little beads in the pill. For a month.
    I was scared to take this stuff because of the stigma, and ignorant comments.
    Anyway, I then went from 40mg to 60mg.
    It’s been about 2 years. I’ve discussed titrating off with my drs.
    I love being on this stuff tho. I feel normal. ❤ I wouldn’t mind taking this for life!
    I hope this has trained my brain chemicals, so when I eventually do go off, I hope my brain will pump out enough, to what level I was at while ON the medication.
    I hope this helps someone!

      @@mr.brenman2132 I can’t speak to how it will effect you, or if it will be easy or difficult to get off of later. Thirty milligrams is obviously a low dose, so it might not have been doing much for me to begin with. There was a time that I took 60, then I went down to 30 for about a year, then I decided to stop it altogether. I do encourage you to ask the pharmacist what are the typical difficulties in getting off it later. Also you have to balance the risk benefits. If you are in a bad place and need help now, get help now, and sort other worries when you feel better. Good luck.

      I was prescribed it for sciatica also. My l5 S1 popped on the left side. When it popped the only thing that turned the pain and burning and lighting bolts off was gabapentin. Now 9 months later DULOXETINE is strong enough for my lingering neuropathy in my left foot. It makes you tired especially initially give it about 2 weeks you'll still have some sleepyness. But at this point in my injury I only take 1 30mg at night and I only started back 3 weeks ago after being on no meds for the last 6 months. My initial does was 120mgs of DULOXETINE and like 900mgs of Gabapentin. It gets better. Do the rehab, get a good chiropractor, see about getting decompression on a table. I couldn't walk but now I can almost run again and I can walk a mile everyday.
