"i began taking this in april after a suicidal episode. i started at 30mg and noticed the effects immediately. i suffer from social anxiety and clinical depression. constant worrying and panic attacks. the first thing i noticed was that it became easier to let go of worrying thoughts. e.g. if i embarrassed myself usually i&#039;d ruminate until i became depressed, once i started duloxetine the bad thoughts were out of my mind almost as soon as they came. this made life a lot easier for me, day by day my symptoms disappeared. it is now august and i am on 120mg the maximum dose. its wearing off as my mood is starting to slip, but i can honestly 100% say that for the past 5 months i have been cured. duloxetine was the best thing to ever happen to me."
