I have taken it PRN for anxiety for 2-3 years. It was very helpful in 2014 when I was lowering my Cymbalta dose from 120 mg/day to 60 mg/day, because I had a moderate discontinuation syndrome.

I was surprised that it helped, to be honest. I would take just 25 or 50 mg/day.

One thing I really don't like about it is that it's very drying. If you live in a dry climate, this can make it problematic. Dry mouth, dry eyes, dry nasal passages.

Also, some people get headaches from it. I did when I first started taking it, but they went away as my body adjusted to it.

It has stopped working for me sometime during the last six months or so. I took some about a month ago and it did absolute nothing for my anxiety. I have tried it a couple of times again since then and again, nothing. No idea why.

It's a fairly mild anxiolytic in my opinion. I was glad to have it when I was doing the Cymbalta taper, though, because since I already take clonazepam, it wasn't like I had that many options for meds for anxiety.
