Sexual orientation changing since starting cymbalta

I’m a bisexual woman and historically have had a preference for men. I tend to be strongly oriented to whatever gender my partner identifies as when I’m in a relationship, to the point where I will question my sexuality in either direction.

last time i dated a woman, I was on prozac. I took a few years off meds and now I’m on duloxetine and I’m starting to notice complete apathy towards men (romantically and sexually). i can’t help but notice a pattern here, but im not mad about it. has anyone else noticed a shift in their sexual orientation on meds vs off meds? I only had other sexual side effects when I first started meds, and 8 weeks in now i have a higher libido than before.

My 24h urine cortisol came back high for the first time ever and my 9am cortisol blood came back significantly higher than usual (typically a bit high because I take my meds before bloodwork as instructed by my doc). I’ve been on this dose for 7 years (since I was ~18, I’m 25 now). Is there a chance my dose needs to be decreased now? If so, do we know why one’s dose would need to be decreased after such a long time?

Currently I am dealing with either a purge or a surge in bumps. I get pimply type bumps on my forearms and legs and strawberry skin on my upper arms, though my upper arms sometimes get pimply bumps. I am addicted to picking the pimply bumps and it’s doing a number on my self esteem.

Currently I use the ordinary salicylic acid body serum a few evenings a week after my shower followed by Vaseline cocoa radiant body butter, and I use Nivea aloe express body lotion in the morning. I use an African net sponge to apply shower gel, which comes with strong mechanical exfoliation.

I am thinking of adopting this routine in the photo. I’d keep the ordinary salicylic acid body serum because I’ve had success with it in the past, and the Vaseline cream really helps with the dry skin. I’ve been finding the Nivea isn’t hydrating my skin as well as it used to, hence replacing it with a body oil.

Any recommendations and suggestions are welcome!
