In the UK, we rarely get benzos for more than a few days. The longest I've ever had a script for being 5 days. It was enough to get me to a stage where I could manage my anxiety using relaxation and breathing control. So don't be totally against them, but keep then strictly short-term.

Cymbalta hasn't really kicked in for me after 8 weeks, but in the past with other drugs I've never really responded to upping the dose after a drug has pooped. It might be that drug combining or augmentation could help, would your PCP be able to do that or would that need a pdoc?
