You’re so kind…hugs are welcome! I do appreciate your advice. I have read about the bad symptoms of getting off duloxitine. I feel fortunate to have my problems compared to others. This is kind of my last resort as I have tried other pain meds. Tramadol doesn’t really help that much. Hated Gabapentin. Anyway, thank you so much. Hugs to you as well.

The ONLY thing that ramps my pain down is hydrocodone. I have tried everything including cannabis. My husband as been taking hydrocodone for at least 15 years for spinal stenosis because they couldn't operate due to his heart condition. I only take hydrocodone or half once a day at most and try to get by as much relief as possible with Advil Dual or Aleve. Some of my friends about have a spell if I tell them I take it. My doc feels that if you have exhausted the alternatives and use it responsibly and as prescribed ,it's fine.
Yes, depression goes with pain. The duloxetine did help with that to begin with. It put me in the hospital twice and I couldn't eat for 2 weeks when I went off of it. I don't want anything more to do with SSRIs/SNRIs
