I doubt you will see huge improvements without changes to the dose or additional intervention at this point. Please consider getting seen again virtually or in person to discuss ways to optimize your mental health.

The optimal dose of duloxetine varies from patient to patient, and typically this is titrated slowly upwards over several weeks to avoid side effects such as nausea. Work with your doctor. Consider another approach also, cognitive-behavioral therapy, for longer lasting ways to cope. Could surely have a more thorough evaluation via virtual consult here (connect@healthtap.com)
