Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Although there are multiple medications which belong to same class as duloxetine but considering 37 years of illness i feel there is only alternative available for you is duloxetine itself.
In case this is not possible to procure in near future amitryptiline or dusulepin can be used as alternative to duloxetine.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
