Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this difficulty getting enough sleep. I have reviewed this information fully. For real, duloxetin can cause sleepless nights in the early phase of treatment. However, this slowly fades away and your normal sleep pattern returns. If this is a new prescription, hang in there and all will soon be okay. If it has been going on for long, then we may need more information to identify another possible cause to your symptoms and address accordingly. Keep me posted about this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
