Now that you are off duloxetine, what are your current symptoms of withdrawal? Do you have increased pain, depression, etc.?
What is behind your lack of trust for doctors? What have you experienced that was bad? Is it because you are not being heard about your suffering and getting proper treatment? What types of specialists are you working with?
Do you know the cause of your neuropathy? Are you diabetic? Did you have chemo? Do you have any vitamin deficiencies or toxicities?

Still experiencing withdrawals , day 11.
Yes - lack of interest or empathy for sure.
I had (my choice/my mistake) a triple nerve release surgery Aug 1 , 2024. I was NWB for 12 weeks, staph infection one of incisions- by 12 weeks I just asked -and told them I will learn to live with the 24/7 pain , please get me to PT to be able to walk and use my foot. I went from a healthy 74 year old (walking/trailing 2-4 miles 3 x a week minimum) to a crippling 75 year old all since I elected that surgery hoping that it would eleviate some of my neuropathy pain , as it was getting worse. I have a PCP, a neurologist , a podiatrist surgeon, and pain management. You can imagine all the resources that I have been trying in these last 15 months. According to all my medical doctors I am NOT diabetic. I maintain between 5.8-6.1 AC level with healthy or not healthy diet. Although I was gestational diabetic with both pregnancies and my mother died from diabetes , amputations and her heart. I had reason for concern. Now that I cry at now with leg pain, I understand what she was trying to tell me at night when I rubbed her legs.
