I had been taking it for a couple of years, but diarhea, terrible stomach cramps each time I take it had gotten so bad. Between that and taking ibuprofen or Tylenol daily for leg and ankle pain for a broken, collapsed ankle before ankle implant surgery.....I couldn't sleep at night because of the pain. I was put in the hospital for bleeding ulcers and pancreatitis. I think the Tylenol and ibuprofen every 4 hours did the most damage. I could not get prescription pain medicine for chronic debilitating pain and I was eating OTC meds like candy. and they only took the edge off. Now the duloxetine feels toxic for me. It always caused an indigestion feeling. I don't know what to do for my chronic pain, stiffness, lymphadena and neuropathy now and my doctor won't change the duloxetine to something else. I would like to know if anyone has this problem and if they found help. Another thing, my large intestine was removed when I was 28, I am 72 now. Many years of pain, gut problems and feeling awful.
I am also dealing with low sodium. How did you establish the connection? I wasn't aware of it. Thank you.
