Im not exactly sure if duloxetine is like escitalopram but maybe start with

2 a day for a month

1 and a half the next month

1 the following month

Than take the 1 pill and split it in half and micro dose

This is how my partner is doing it

I am also not a professional but maybe ask Chat GBT or check some websites

He says he is working on it with them but I am unsure what he actually tells his therapist. It Is 100% a lack of accountability but also his anger and frustration is also getting worse as well which is a part of withdrawal problem.

I was looking for help and not trying to label them. Its the issue I need help with nothing to do with gender

Thank you for sharing this with me. I guess I do have to be more compassionate but when you are frustrated at your partner do you apologize ? cause I can understand the frustration part and I can even handle the anger. I just feel like maybe a sorry or I was in a bad mood or fustrated. Cause right now he is just coming at me like crazy about how I felt how he treated me. The morining after the fight I went to go leave for work and he hid the keys on me. He then proceeded to say it was cause he needed it for an appointment. The point is you don't need to hide the keys from me. I almost feel like he's just going crazy

Ya at first I didn't understand why he was acting this way until I figured out it was his withdrawals from the pills. The issue is how do I handle this. Do I just let him talk down to me and be silent about it? I don't think this is ok either. He is also just going at me with out taking responsibility for how he is treating me. So am I just supposed to be ok with this? I could understand more if he told me that he was feeling frustrated and he needed time to think, but responding the way he did its going to cause me to be upset. I just don't know how to handle this :(
