@kmoore1277 I'm just starting duloxetine and wonder what are the side effects you've experienced with it and when did the side effects start, if you remember, and don't mind letting me know. Thanks!

@painsurvivor i started it a month ago for my lumbar spinal stenosis at starting dose for three weeks to see if I experienced any side effects. I did not. Then I went on to the maintenance dose and have been for almost two weeks now at this dose .
Occasional “eyebrow headache” as I call it. Which is a normal side effect when first starting this dose and should go away once your system has adjusted to it according to the pharmacy literature I was given with my script . Already I notice a marked improvement with my back discomfort . I do try to watch my body mechanics and not bend down to tie shoes or pick up things from the floor. Avoid twisting at the waist too, helps me. I bought grabbers to pick up things from the floor.
Hope you feel better and have less pain too.
