@bunnybear - I can sympathize with you. I was on duloxtine for a few years for severe back
pain. It did not relive any pain. I decided to go off of it seeing it was not helping. It was pure hell. It took me months to wean off of it. The brain zaps were unbearable, along with mood change & nausea.
Finally I am free from this drug. Never again will I take it.
Don’t give up weaning off if this is what you want. It’s not an easy drug to get off seeing it’s for depression also.
I wish you the best.

Thanks @ladeedi51 for the info. At least I know what to expect. So far I haven’t had the side effects you did. I “just” have the return of very severe, debilitating, pain in my lower buttocks and hips. Pretty much what I took it for. But this is similar to what happened when I was occasionally taking hydrocodone. It seemed to me that if I took a pill, I could count on my body “calling” out for another one a few hours later. That is how addiction works I think. The brain wants that drug and so it amplifies the pain you were hoping to relieve at the time another dose is allowed. Amateur psychology/science I know. Congrats and thanks again!
