A member asked:

Is it safe to eat chocolate while taking duloxetine even though it contains caffeine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chocolate is safe: Millions of people take duloxetine. I am sure there are more than a few chocolate lovers out there. Reasonable use of chocolate would be fine. Of course if it doesn't work for you then cut it out.
