Stopping Medication
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi have stopped my medication of duloxetine for the last three days I'm trying to see how I get on without it, but I was wondering what you lovely people think? Should I go back on it or try going sold turkey?

I know that we all have different responses.
If it were me, I would slowly wean off it. My experience has taught me that.
Good luck in whatever you decide... Nancy

I would watch for side effects. Depending on the dose, if it were high then cold turkey isn't good. Low might be ok depending on how long you were on it. I couldnt take this medication. I couldn't sleep while taking it and my entire body felt like I was burning.

I started Duloxitine last Wednesday and threw up for 2 days. I have been getting a lot of advice on a fb group, women with Fibromyalgia, and they ate against the drug becaue of side effects and hard to get off. Are you having any withhdrawals? How long have you been taking it?
