Well I want to start by saying that I have a huge history of not taking my prescribed medications as I have a big phobia over becoming dependent on things like that.  I'm aware that most anti-depressants are really addictive, however I very specifically asked my doctor for something that could help with my anxiety and wouldn't have intoxicating effects or be difficult to get off of, to which he prescribed Duloxetine. After a bit of research it seems that Duloxetine may be one of the harder ones to get off of and comes with quite a few possible (and fairly common it seems) side effects. Any personal stories of a Duloxetine prescription? did it work for you and was/is it worth taking? 

Thanks :)
