Good morning @bcool123 .....I just noticed the reference to Duloxetine. And yes, I have been taking it for several years predominantly for a diagnosis of pretty severe anxiety (GAD). My dosage is 120 mg every morning to try to stay cool, calm, and collected during the day.

Recently, another Rx was added when the anxiety began to be a bit frightening. That is Buspirone morning and evening. Since anxiety leads to pain, and pain then leads to more anxiety...the goal is to control the anxiety.

I cannot imagine handling my current situation without the help of these medications.
Are you beginning to notice some relief yet? I am also working with a behavioral therapist to do a better job of what is called Executive Function.

May you be safe, protected, and free of inner and outer harm.
