Ya currently on that and Pregabalin..tried to wean off duloxotine and had same problem, was on 30 mg e very other day and started having shocks from it so went back to every day. This was in November before back surgery. Had laminectomy and discectomy done. Stayed on duloxotine and am still on it as im on plethora of other drugs. The surgery helped but now pain shooting down my leg again as i wean off pregablin. Was on 600, started weaning off several weeks ago. Now down to 400. It wasn't too bad at first now i can hardly sleep at night anymore cause of weaning off effects

I share your feelings about the pain, and I am very sorry. Several actions worked to control my pain. 1. Notify your doctor or go to the ER immediately. you may have a clot in your leg, and they are obligated by law to control pain to the limit of what's possible. 2. Make sure your nutrition is sufficient and complete. 3. Keep the leg at a level higher than the heart. Clonidine (the medicine adjuvant to blood pressure) helped me with the weaning anxiety for several hours, under medical supervision. 3. Ensure your nutrition is OK. 4, Relax, listen to music, and have a good conversation, trick your pain with distraction. ALL PAIN IS TEMPORARY AND TREATABLE.
Good luck!
