Hi,

>you may ask doc for duloxetine now.

That's right, duloxetine (Cymbalta) is now available in the UK for the treatment of depression. It comes in 30mg and 60mg capsules.

Duloxetine is also available in the UK under the brand name Yentreve. Yentreve comes in 20mg and 40mg capsules- it is licensed for the treatment of stress incontinence.

If you want to start on 20mg (to minimise side effects) you'll have to take the incontinence pills (Yentreve)! I guess they didn't want the people with incontinence to know that they were taking an AD. On the other hand, perhaps they didn't want the depressed people to know that they were taking a drug for incontinence!

Kind regards,
Ed.
