Brief Answer:
Urgently stop duloxetine and notify doctor

Detailed Answer:
hi,

duloxetine is not directly known to cause easy bruising. It interacts with other drugs to cause easy bruising.
Since the blood is flowing unstoppable, I suggest to stop medicine and notify your doctor to check for potential health hazards.
hope I am clear here.
