I have been taking Duloxetine once a day for 1.5 years and have no negative effects at all. I take it in combination with Gabapentin 60mg 4xday.

@margi45 That’s great to hear !
I just started on my 60mg a day maintenance dose two days ago after initially being on the 30mg starting dose. I was on an antidepressant for many years before I even started with by back Issues, so I had to be titrated off before starting my trial dose of duloxetine(used also as an antidepressant) for my spinal stenosis pain. So I am now on Gabapentin for my CRPS and small fiber neuropathy in my left leg this along with my spinal cord stimulator implant take care of my nerve pain. Sadly not the musculoskeletal pain in my spine with stenosis. Duloxetine will help with that issue . Naturally I’ll always have to be aware of my body mechanics when bending and not twisting. Resting with my legs up gets me back on my feet after an episode too.
Best wishes and thanks for your encouraging words. 😊
