Head aches, dry mouth, constipation, ear pain and intense dreams. All of which are affecting my sleep. I am Bi-polar and already take Lamictal and Abilify, both have been great for treating my Bipolar disorder. My doctor put me on duloxetine for severe sciatica pain. How long will these side effects last? The duloxetine has helped somewhat for the pain
I have been on Duloxetine for 22 days. I have started to experience some side effects.

I am thinking your best answer would come from the doctor who put you on Duloxetine. I wait 6-8weeks for side affects to settle but if this medication is for pain it might be best to try something else so that you don't upset your Bipolar.
