So my question is what anxiety med can i take with my cymbalta? Anyone have this experience?

I would call your doc and discuss this with them. You can take the two together, you're just at a slightly increased risk for some drug interactions. Did they refuse to give them to you and say you absolutely can't take them together, or just advise you to be careful when taking together? Talk to your doctor and maybe find a better pharmacist.
