Hello: I m a 69 year old woman that has been a diabetic for several years. I reluctantly just took a Duloxetine Hcl pill for the first time for diabetic nerve pain. After reading all the possible side affects, I was afraid to start taking them. I had picked them up from my pharmacy three weeks ago, and they have been in my purse ever since. But today, since I m in so much pain, I decided to take the first one. Should I be worrying so much about the side affects like suicidal thoughts, depression, etc.?
