@pattismith Sorry I probably wasn't clear. I meant my natural ME state is to have motivation but not energy. I haven't tried duloxetine.

I just wondered if you had an idea, on balance, if the energy gain was worth the loss in motivation for you?
The gain wasn't worth for me, but everyone is different , who knows how you would react, it's worth a try.
