Week 2

I finished up week two of taking 20 mg in the morning and 20 mg at night. And I started week 3 of taking 30 mg in the morning and 20 mg at night.

It's still making me tired but I don't think it's as bad as the first week. I've had a headache a couple days I don't know if that's related. I want to say that I'm noticing less anxiety and less worry but I also don't know if that's just my mind playing tricks on me because I feel like I should be less anxious and less worried. So hopefully over the next few weeks I will know for sure if this is working. I don't have any other side effects there's little tiny bleeding moments of nausea but they come and go so quickly it's not even disruptive. I have no stomach upsets or anything else that is impacting my day-to-day life.

Week 1

I started Duloxetine Feb 7, 2025. What I'm hoping to get from it is lessened anxiety, lessened nerve pain and overall better mental health. I worry about everything. 

The first week was 20mg 1x/day. The second week I started 2x 20mg 2x/day. Next week I'll switch to a 30mg in the am and a 20mg in the pm. Then two 30mg 2x/day.

So far I'm tolerating it well. I get bouts of nausea during the day but they don't last long. I'm so tired even when I sleep well. I feel like my anxiety might be slightly less, but that might also be a placebo effect.
