i followed my taper scedule and took my last dosage of duloxetin about 2 weeks ago and uhhh have been doing pretty bad since then :( what theyre describing here as PAWS has hit me hard. physical feelings of irritabilty, intense anxiety, inabilty to focus on anything, no joy left in me, i'm not interested in anything i'm shaking having hotflashes, out of breath & close to tears all the time.
i hope this goes away soon? the anxiety feels familiar. there were definitely times in my life where that was just my normal state of being so i'm worried this aspect will stay with me
my og dose wasnt high (only 45mg when usually its betwen 60-120mg) but i was on it for almost 4 years...... i have to take better care of myself atm to help with these symtoms but it all feels so overwhelming
