Advice & Tips
I experienced more side effects in the first week of taking duloxetine, including jaw clenching and severe wakefulness. These seemed to settled after a week or so. Take in the morning to reduce wakefulness side effect impacting on sleep. Maintain a high fibre diet and take psyllium husks to alleviate constipation.

Advice & Tips
this med definitely helped my mood, but i had absolutely no libido, not ok when im engaged to be married in a year (not that thats ever "ok") also the side effects were so sever, with no warning from my dr, i couldn't even function. please take into consideration that even if this med works for you, the side effects when going off can be extremely sever.

Advice & Tips
Pay very close attention to you body AND mind when taking this medicine. Neither my family or I realized exactly how bad it got until it was almost too late. I was not myself for an unknown amount of time and in the end came extremely close to suicide. I was literally one step away from ending it all leaving my wife a widow and my children fatherless.
