To @Tomas:
After discontinuation of duloxetine (90 mg), the duration of withdrawal symptoms depends on several factors, such as the duration of use, the body's individual response, the speed of metabolism, and the mode of withdrawal (abrupt or gradual). Duloxetine has a half-life of about 12 hours, which means that after this time, half of the dose is eliminated from the body.
My friend also answered a similar question in the thread:
You will also find useful information there.
When I stop taking the 90mg dose, how many days will these effects persist?

Yes, it is possible. Usually, side effects appear in the first days after increasing the dose.
So is it possible that the effects have appeared in such a short time?

According to the Safety Data Sheet, increasing the dose of Dulsevia (or another medicine with duloxetine) may cause a decrease in well-being and worsening of the symptoms of the underlying disease for several days. It is typical that side effects appear shortly after increasing the dose of the drug, but in the vast majority of cases they disappear after 2-4 weeks from increasing the dose of the drug.
Side effects should be reported to the doctor at the next visit.
