Duloxetine

Uses

Duloxetine is used in the treatment of depression, diabetic nerve pain, anxiety disorder, neuropathic pain, overactive bladder symptoms, fibromyalgia, and stress urinary incontinence.

How it Works

Duloxetine works by increasing the levels of chemical messengers, specifically serotonin and noradrenaline, which are natural substances in the brain that help maintain mental balance and inhibit the transmission of pain signals.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Duloxetine include headache, dry mouth, sleepiness, decreased appetite, blurred vision, fatigue, flatulence, and sweating.

Expert Advice

  • Duloxetine is effective in treating depression and anxiety.
  • It may also be used to manage nerve pain associated with diabetes and other forms of chronic pain.
  • It may take 2 to 4 weeks for Duloxetine to start working.
  • Continue taking it as prescribed.
  • Possible side effects include dizziness and sleepiness.
  • Avoid driving or engaging in activities that require concentration until you know how Duloxetine affects you.
  • Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Duloxetine, as it may lead to excessive drowsiness and increase the risk of liver damage.
  • Duloxetine may cause an increase in blood pressure, particularly during the first month of treatment; monitor your blood pressure regularly.
  • A sensation of restlessness may occur, especially when you first start taking it; inform your doctor if this happens.
  • Consult your doctor if you experience sudden mood changes or develop suicidal thoughts.
  • Do not discontinue the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor.

Frequently asked questions

Duloxetine is not habit-forming or addictive, meaning it does not cause physical or psychological dependence.
Duloxetine typically begins to work within two weeks for depression and anxiety, but it may take 2-4 weeks for noticeable improvement. For diabetic neuropathic pain, relief may take a few weeks. Consult your doctor if no improvement is seen after two months.
Duloxetine is considered safe for long-term use when following your doctor's treatment plan.
Do not stop taking Duloxetine suddenly without consulting your doctor. If you've felt better for 6 months or more regarding depression and anxiety, your doctor may gradually reduce your dose. For pain and incontinence, continue long-term use, with regular monitoring by your doctor.
Sudden discontinuation of Duloxetine may result in dizziness, fatigue, agitation, anxiety, sleep disturbances, nausea, vomiting, shaking, muscle pain, diarrhea, pins and needles sensations, excessive sweating, or vertigo. Always consult your doctor before stopping the medication, as a gradual dose reduction is recommended.
Caution is advised when taking Duloxetine with warfarin due to an increased risk of bleeding and potential skin changes such as petechiae or purpura.
Duloxetine may elevate blood pressure, so regular monitoring is essential, especially in the first month. If blood pressure increases persistently, consult your doctor, as a dose adjustment or gradual discontinuation may be necessary.
