Was taken off duloxetine on May 8th. Updated my psychiatrist and therapist this morning about how I’ve been since. Took advantage of iMessage’s formatting to explain and emphasize how I’ve been, and also to be more careful about how I expressed myself because it was nearing lunchtime when I updated the group chat.
Suddenly realized that my OCD flare-up might be how my duloxetine withdrawal is manifesting this time. You don’t know how grateful I am to people who are so understanding of my being so easily disgusted about simple things in my daily life. You make my life that much bearable, and I appreciate it so much. Thank you for not shrugging it off as me just being so sensitive or “so maarte and so OC~” about things that people without OCD might find trivial and inconsequential.
