I have had difficulty again with cognition and also intrusive fears at 18mg. It’s been disturbing. Last night it occurred to me that the brain is coming bit by bit out from under the duloxetine cloud and thus is either over stimulated with intrusive thoughts or going into fear and cognition shutting down. I am listening to an audiobook called “Overcoming unwanted intrusive thoughts,” which has been helpful. Also realising that my brain may need calm reassurance, guidance and affirmation that I have a good mind that’s been under a cloud and just needs reassurance and positive direction as I reawaken so to speak.
