Thank you Zachary for your reply, I stopped taking the duloxetine for about 3weeks but the pains and sweating I experienced in my scalp and and down my neck and back was too much so I returned to the duloxetine. I have taken the tramadol during this break but got physically sick because of it. Is it my mind that is convincing myself that duloxetine is calming the nerves in my head? I was given them last christmas when I was really bad with depression but my dr said they also numbed the nerves, I guess that why I feel the way I do. I really do want to go back on tramadol and get off these but is there any other medication that numb the nerves in my head? As I said I have so many questions and I don't know if they will be answered or not and thats scary.
