Hello,

Welcome to HCM. Thanks for your query.
Duzela ( Duloxetine) is an antidepressant of the SNRI group.
It has helped you overcome your depression.
It does not have any addiction potential but when you stop taking it, its help for you to overcome some physical symptoms like headache, heaviness in the head which may be related to anxiety or stress stops.
So you may get these symptoms for some time till your body is able to make the adjustments.
You can take symptomatic treatment like paracetamol. Also practise stress relieving measures like yoga, exercise, eat healthy wholesome food.
Wish you good health
