Hi guys I'm writing from London England.

I was put on duloxetine sept 2010 at 60g. I had gone through 4 years of darkness after my son was born. I had sudden eye problems and I was tested for brain enurysm and ms. I was after a year cleared of it all but in my head I had ms, I wanted to die I couldn't see a future, my baby years came and passed with my son I will never get that back. There was a million other things happening to but o was in a deep place for too long!

I tried Prozac and a couple of others but I couldn't sleep with them. I finally went private!!! My doctor prescribed me cbt which I did but I needed more. I was given the option of duloxetine and given a sheet explaining the good and the bad associated with the drug.

I made the choice to take it! I slept well straight away and I got better, there was light my eyes didn't seem so bad! I was better. After a year I wanted to come off I tried cold turkey and couldn't handle it I was like a smack head needing a fix. I decreased to 30 I'm October I tool one every 2nd day then 3 rd 4 th 5 th etc. I new I needed one to stop the withdrawal. On 12 November my birthday I knew that was it. I wanted to come off.

It's been almost 2 weeks I'm feeling like I have morning sickness, a bad hangover I am on a rocky boat had diarroah sickness, reflux!! Flu

It's hard work but I have to think it's going to be ok! Apparently Prozac cam help with withdrawal but I'm not sure I want to do that route.

It is he'll but without the drug I feel I would be in a worse place so don't have no regrets

Hang in there guys
