Anxiety itself can cause high bp, duloxetine action on bp is very very minimal. It is never a first choice for anxiety. So better consult an astute psychiatrist and take proper medication. All the best.

The fda has approved three drugs to treat fibromyalgia: the antidepressants duloxetine (cymbalta) and milnacipran (savella), plus the anti-seizure medicine pregabalin (lyrica). But your doctor may prescribe other drugs that aren't specifically approved for fibromyalgia.

Dear lybrate user. I can understand. Bang addiction comes under SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ADDICTION. Deaddiction treatment is best suited for such addictions. Medically assisted drug detoxification or alcohol detoxification alone is ineffective as a treatment for addiction. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) recommends detoxification followed by both medication (where applicable) and behavioral therapy, followed by relapse prevention.

Most likely it is due to duvanta (duloxetine) you are taking which is not 1st line of choice for GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder). Did you discuss these erectil problems with your psychiatrist, I am surprised this medicne was chosen, if you have not, discuss now. There are many medicines which control the anxiety symtpoms very well without your erection being compromised. All the best.

Dear user, gastric problems can cause poor absorption of necessary vitamins and minerals which in turn can cause neuropathy. Symbal-20 (duloxetine) is used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. You can consult me for more doubts regarding this online by clicking on my photo and booking an appointment however, if you found my answer helpful, please leave a positive feedback as it helps me with my practice. Thank you.

Taking lamitor dt 100 mg two times a day for borderline personality disorder as diagnosed by pscyatrist in november 2019 I am unable to sleep on my own so I am prescribed zapiz 1 mg for having calm nd peaceful sleep during night. But due to taking zapiz 1 mg I am unable to wake up early in the morning I am waking up at 9-10 am in the morning. I feel lethargic I want to be active throughout the day and engage myself in some worthy nd useful activities but I am unable to do so. I need to add this three weeks ago I was prescribed duvanta 20 mg for social anxiety nd depression issues but till now I haven't seen any positive effect .i m having low mood severe headache is there physical symptoms lyk nausea feeling hard stool wid stomach cramps or constipation is there. I am getting irritated very easily nd retialiting back in a aggressive way which is inappropriate behavior. I am very frustrated wid my lyf I am not at all happy with my lyf the way I am feeling now stress worry tension about my future is there. I am post graduate in english from a reputed college but due to my mental health I lack confidence I hesitate speaking in english wid people or at stage. Social anxiety is there. Very low self esteem is there. Please tell me will duvanta 20 mg help with my social anxiety and depression issues. As I feel lyk doing nothing except using my mobile all day and trying to make myself divert or rather I should say escape from my problems.

Hi lybrate-user, I understand that you are going through a depressive mood state. Duloxetine (duvanta) do works to alleviate depression but the dose at which you are taking it is not gonna help. In my opinion you need to increase the dose to 40 mg instantaneously and further increase to 60 mg per day in divided doses after next 3 days. Lets see how it goes and please let me know about progress after 2 weeks.
