I have a history of generalized anxiety and panic disorder. Over the past 4 or 5 months, I've also been having depression issues, most recently being diagnosed as being in a major depressive episode. Over the past 3-4 years, I've been on assorted SSRIs with varying effectiveness/side effects, and most recently Effexor, which I think made my depression much worse. As of about 10 days ago, I'm on Cymbalta. Either it's already helping my depression (which p-doc said was possible, since I was already on an SNRI), or just stopping Effexor helped it.

So I'm feeling considerably less depressed. However, I'm having issues with anxiety, both generalized and some panic. Not sure if the Cymbalta hasn't kicked in enough for that yet, or if I might need something else for anxiety.

Has anyone on here been prescribed Cymbalta for anxiety? Has it helped? Or has anyone been on Cymbalta and had another med added to help with anxiety? Thanks!
