Brief Answer:
Yes you can take, but insomnia might be seen

Detailed Answer:
Hello, thanks for asking HealthcareMagic.

Taking Duloxetin instead of Paroxetine might result in withdrawal. But If you have no medicines left then you can take Duloxetin without any worries. You might face some insomnia.


Thanks and Take care.
