I was given duloxadene for arthritis but after a month I developed uncontrollable vertigo and had to slowly withdraw from the drug. I believe it is a harmful drug that alters the brain's ability to recognize pain but alters the brain's ability to control emotions or recognize reality

I was prescribed Duloxetine for Shingles pain but it was not worth the price of my titrating off it. Did you get brain zaps when you first went off it? I only took it for a couple of weeks but had to taper off it for over a month the brain zaps were so unpleasant! Some people take up to a year to get off it. Other drugs like SSRIs and Lyrica can also cause impotency in men and are equally difficult to get off.
