Duloxetine Side Effects

Updated

I've been on 60 mg. of duloxetine for neuropathy for 3 months and I've lost nearly 20 pounds. My appetite is nearly nonexistent and I can't tolerate the sight of most foods. Is there anything to counter this side-effect?

Hello, Buddz! How are you doing? Has there been any change

There is really no way to counteract them, but usually such side effects are transient and go away, after about 4 to 5 weeks, once your body gets used to a medication, as detailed by the NIH.

Given that it has not gone away for you, it would be best to have it checked out by your doctor, as you may need to try a different medication.

Is this the only medication you are taking?

Thanks for replying, Verwon. My neurologist changed my medication to amitriptylene. It's been a few days and I still have no appetite. But I'm hopeful.

Can 210mgs of Duloxetine cause a person to urinate blood? So far it's been 3-4 times today. I did fall and have a little scrape/bruise over my right kidney area, just not very much pain and no burning when urinating.
