I've been in duloxetine 60mg for 2 years for anxiety causing accute diarrhoea which ruined my life for 20 years.

Though this has stopped 90 percent of systems has given me these symptoms:

Terrible tiredness 24/7

Limbs aching

Always coughing

I feel lousy but don't know what to do as they have helped so much !!

    HI, have you been back to speak to your GP?  I am surprised to hear that you have had such bad side effects and are still taking the Duloxetine?  Have you not discussed these issues with your GP?  Have you not had regular follow up appointments with your GP over the past two years?

    The best advice I can give, is to make an appointment to see you GP as soon as possible,

    Good luck

    Extreme fatigue is a side effect for many with Dulox. Dose changes might reduce it but no guarantee.

    Swan because deluxe has the highest norepinephrine reuptake ratio most of the antidepressants

    and yet seems to give so many people tiredness rather than energy.

    Muscle part n is also a listed side effect.

    As the other person has said you should discuss all side effects with your doctor, soon after starting any medication

    to make sure that it is ok to continue and to rule out any other health issues that may be causing these symptoms
