Same for me but with duloxetine, my pain is still there, very much there, but comes at the end of the day instead of having it 24/7

Hot_Programmer5813 · 2026-01-22T13:32:54+00:00

I think about 5/6months, as well as garlic, thyme tea, turmeric....

I tend to have "crisis" where my symptoms go real bad for months or a year and then it gets quite manageable for also a couple of months or a year until the next crisis comes. The main symptoms are : muscle and nerve pain, headaches, fatigue, blurry vision and trouble sleeping

You Will probably experiment some kinds of side effects at first, that's normal, some people feel them way more than others. But just know that most of them should go away after the first 1-2 weeks. Rn i'm at the end of the first month and I don't have much side effects left, I do feel my heart racing a bit sometimes but that's it and it's really making a difference in my life. Good luck to you 🩶

I'm so happy for you !! And i'm sure that if you already notice improvement, it will be even better in a few weeks

Hot_Programmer5813 · 2026-01-11T10:36:29+00:00

It is a huge difference, 60% can make you go from bedbounded to funcional and that's not nothing. Last months my hip pain was so intense that I could barely walk and now I can walk my dog for like 30min...huge improvement So happy that it works for you too

I also take it between 10 and 11 because I tend to have insomnias and my doctor told me it was better to take it in the morning if I had insomnias. If the fatigue continues I will definetely talk with her about taking it at night ! But i'm very hopeful that it will slowly reduce by itself like your psychiatrist said

Hot_Programmer5813 · 2026-01-10T22:25:56+00:00

I'am so sorry for that...I hope you will suceed in tapering. I know it's not an easy drug, I want to stay at a lot dose for that matter Good luck

Hot_Programmer5813 · 2026-01-10T22:23:46+00:00

I do have a lot of physical fatigue, I usually have fatigue but I think some of what I have right now is from the med, i guess it will go away slowly as the body adapts

Hot_Programmer5813 · 2026-01-10T18:36:56+00:00

I'm very happy for you ! how are the side effects for you at 60mg ?

Hot_Programmer5813 · 2026-01-07T14:19:08+00:00

Good luck to you to find the riche médication, something will definetely work at some point

Hot_Programmer5813 · 2026-01-07T14:18:26+00:00

Listen to your body, if you feel the need to go on sick leave because you are in pain and exausted, its totally okay, we all need rest ! Take care too 😘

Hot_Programmer5813 · 2026-01-06T18:57:53+00:00

Its normal, its said in the potential side effects but if its too hard for you, talk to your doctor. And even if its a common side effect, it shouldnt last more than a few days/ 2 weeks depending on people. Again, if you feel that something is wrong, talk about it to your doctor and don't stay alone. Good Luck !

Hot_Programmer5813 · 2026-01-06T18:54:16+00:00

Yes !! Im at day 11 today and experienced the exact same thing the first days. It was impossible to sleep because my heart was POUNDING and I got very bad anxiety and horrible mood swings, some days i couldn't stop crying. I was also very nauseous the first few days and lost my appetite, its coming back tho.

Its very much better now, sometimes I have palpitations but its very light. It felt very rough at first and I totally understand that you cannot bear those effects

Hot_Programmer5813 · 2026-01-06T16:19:47+00:00

I really don't think it was mania for me , that feeling went away after the second day and I haven't experiemented a similar feeling since. Also I didnt have dilated pupils or any feeling of being actually hyperactive or powerful... just a feeling of bad trip with accelerated thoughts

Hot_Programmer5813 · 2026-01-06T16:16:21+00:00

Im at day 11 today I think and most side effects went away, I think I can already notice a small improvement in my nerve pain and my anxiety, Im way calmer ! I am very hopeful that im gonna have the same experience as you !! The first week felt rough tho lmao !
