Tricky: The switch must be done with the help of your doctor doing exactly what he/she says

SHOULD BE EASY: The doses of all of these are very small so you can just start the Duloxetine now and then stop the escitalopram in about 1 week. I would just ask the doctor giving the meds to you. Also, were you on duloxetine and changed and now going back, I am confused about the timeline.

I'm currently taking escitalopram 20 mg daily, but I believe my depressive symptomps had worsened in the last months. I used to take duloxetine but my last psychiatrist decided against it because I was experiencing too many side effects.
