You can, consult and do as your psychiatrist says for 2-3 months, if no improvement get a 2nd opinion from another psychiatrist, as different approaches are there. All the best.

Duloxetine is an antidepressant and is given for pain also .It has been prescribed for periods like 6 weeks.
If there is a problem in l4. l5 only this medication alone will not help.

Dear Hamid,
No problem if you take 40 instead of 20. It will not cause any overdose symptoms. But don't take the next 20 mg tablet. From tomorrow onwards you can take 20 mg twice a day.

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.

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.
