I was put on duloxetine for my ms nerve pain and my depression and i was wondering if anyone has been on it and if they have, have they had any side effects.
Hi π yes I am on duloxetine and it is working extremely well for me. After the first couple of months I didnt have any side effects. Those first weeks I slept a lot. It took my all over nerve pain from a solid 10 to a 3 or so really quicly and then after that miracle I started being able to control letting stress make me spin out of control. I have been on it for about 1.5 years and am so happy with it. I hope it works for you too.
I've been on duloxetine for well over a decade now, and it has helped tremendously with leg pain at night. I only take it before bed, and it helps me sleep more sound too. You do have to give it a month or two before seeing real results. It was a lifesaver for me in regards to my mental health as well. Prior to duloxetine I was having frequent panic attacks in the middle of the night. I've hardly had any since. Just remember, it's a maintenance drug, so you have to take it religiously every day (preferably at night) , and you can't just stop taking it all of a sudden, because you may have severe withdrawal symptoms. You would have to be weaned off of it over time, if you decide to quit it.

When i get comfy before bed i get a really tingly/itchy scalp. I also have chronic insomnia so the duloxetine sometimes exacerbate it.
