I decided to try Duloxetine for depression and anxiety and was very pleased with how quickly I recovered from a very desperate state of being I suffer with bipolar but on 60mg this medication greatly helped my anxiety and gently lifted my spirits so I was in a positive and relaxed mindset The side effect of constipation I deal with effectively with sugar free lactulose on prescription Also unlike some other antidepressants I found I didn't suffer any sexual side effects with Duloxetine at this dose and also found this actually brought back my sex drive I found taking it at night just before sleep minimised this side effect I do feel more positive hopeful and have real wellbeing without being too high plus my panic attacks have stopped I did try 90 mg of Duloxetine but went too high so now stable again on 60 mg I feel my sense of humour is back and also as I am not feeling so ill am interested in life and people again My psychiatrist has told me this 60mg Duloxetine along with my regular 5mg Olanzapine will be my lifelong medication Also because I'm on 2 drugs do feel quite sleepy and forget things sometimes but recovering my wellbeing more than compensates for this. This drug has changed my life.
