Does Duzela Lead To Aggravated Symptoms?Suggest Remedy

Hi, My wife is taking Duzela for the past 3 weeks. She is facing aggravated symptoms now like confused thinking, suicidal thoughts etc. It was not like this before. And also she is getting weak, drowsy most of the times. What do I do now? Can I stop the medication?

Hi,

Based on the history your wife seems to be suffering from severe depression. Duzela (duloxetine) is actually an anti-depressant which seems to be not effective in controlling her symptoms of depression. I suggest you to take her to the emergency room of your nearby hospital for possible admission and treatment under the care of a psychiatrist.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
