Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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.
