I'm really worried because my friend gave me a tablet of duralast 30 mg without telling me what it was for, saying it would help with my headache. I took it, but now I'm feeling really horny and anxious about any other side effects I might experience. Can you please help me understand what to expect? I'm kind of scared.

It's understandable to feel concerned, but taking Duralast (which contains dapoxetine) may cause some mild side effects like increased arousal, dizziness, or nausea. It's important to stay calm, and if you feel unwell or experience unusual symptoms, contact a doctor immediately. You should avoid taking any more of this medication without consulting a healthcare professional.
