What Causes Puffy Eyes Post Duloxetine Withdrawal?

I have been weaning off duloxetine and taking 30mg once a day every other day. I have started Savella, the starter pack. Today was the 7th day. I woke up with a large red circle under my eye onto my cheek. Under my eye is all puffy. Just the one eye and one cheek.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to fluid retention which is a side effect of duloxetin withdrawal.
If you have other medical conditions such as high blood pressure or heart problems would be a good idea to let your physician be aware of this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
