Hi all. I'm on Duloxetine at the moment. Been on these ones for a couple of years. Others before that. 

I feel I really want to come off them, as, amongst other things, I feel I've lost my edge. My memory is not what it was and above all that, I don't know if they're actually working anymore. 

Any thoughts? 

Thanks.

You need to see your Gp,I"m on Venaflaxine & these seem to work for me,I just had the dosage put up as I had really bad axinty, Plus my couison died at christmas & a good friend had a heart attack Mind you I do feel numb to things sometimes,Like I can"t feel anything, I don"t like it much! Maybe you need yours changed or the doseage put up! Talk to your GP! If you do changed you might feel worse before you feel better! when I changed to these I feel like I was in hell, it was awful, the gp told me this might happen! slowly The clould lifted & I felt tons better! Be mind full of this,just stick with it, it"s worth it if it helps to make you feel better! I don"t think I have ever had the ones you are on! I hope this helps Good luck.

Loads of love to you

Groovy chick.

I am on loads of meds to Haze,I got a box so I can lay out a weeks tablets at a time, this really helps! my headache Dr wanted me to take a tablet that could make my depression worse,I saw my GP & he ageed I shouldn"t take it, as I have just started to come out of that black hole, after my cousin"s death at xmas  he was only 36! Died coz he was an alochoic! he wrote a letter to the headache Dr explaining why I wouldn"t be taking it! I couldn"t go back to being that depressed!
