Duloxetine? Diloxatine is a common misspelling of duloxetine.
People with depression, peripheral diabetic neuropathy pain, or generalized anxiety disorder may benefit from using duloxetine hydrochloride (Cymbalta®), an antidepressant that is available by prescription. The medication works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain and by blocking the nerve pain signals in the spinal cord or brain. Most people tolerate duloxetine well, and even when side effects occur, they are usually minor. Some side effects of duloxetine can include nausea, drowsiness, and dizziness. Duloxetine comes in capsule form and it is usually taken once or twice a day.
