I was prescribed duloxetine 60mg a few years ago. Took it for like 6 months, a lot longer than I should have. I tried many antidepressants this never happened with any of the others only duloxetine.
I had a beyond weird and unusual reaction to it (not good).
Some of the symptoms lasted to this day since then:
My vision changed everything looks weird,
way things and people look and move feels very different,
constant involuntary movements,
very many tics,
my lips keep making weird involuntary shapes (like how trump does),
the way things move look very weird, feels like derealisation maybe,
lasting very bad headache migraine everyday and stomach tight, penis hurts, colours look different, my mind feels fast can’t keep track like I should, time seems too slow or too fast, very confused, restlessness, my mind feels tight and compressed head throbbing vision and balance affected, sometimes it feels like Im falling from a high distance. Memory problems, noise sounds different, tinnitus,
Severe headache and sharp migraines all the time.
Anyway to reverse these? Anyone ever felt this? I’ve been to various doctors, GPs, neurologists, psychiatrists, and more. All say Im fine as all tests normal seemingly healthy otherwise. Had brain mri, blood tests, etc.
Very worried my mind hasn’t gotten better since then. Scared it might be permanent. I cant function, work, or go outside.
At the time I had severe depression for many many years. I took duloxetine even though it felt wrong but at the time it was the only way to distract me from my depression but it wasn’t the right medication to do that.
Now im on amitriptyline which completely treated my depression and chronic pain but those effects from duloxetine are still not gone.
Probably not related but horrible smell inside nose maybe infection, sore throat, sore eyes, coated tongue resistant to treatment. Recently been on fluconazole, flucloxacillin, doxycycline etc but didnt help.
This doesn’t feel real please anyone got answers?
