"18 year old female. i&#039;ve been on duloxetine for three months now, currently on the maximum dose of 120 mg, and it&#039;s had an amazing effect. i&#039;m happier, more productive, and more motivated. it&#039;s done a great job with fixing my energy levels and memory, and i enjoy my hobbies more. overall, very good experience- however, on days i forget to take my medicine, i can experience a dull, stabbing pain in my hands and feet, similar to symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, though i&#039;ve yet to receive a diagnosis. i can&#039;t be sure that this is a side effect of the medication, as the pain subsides when i&#039;m regularly taking it, but i would suggest making sure you take it as regularly as prescribed, especially at high doses."
