Cymbalta

I am on day 10 of cymbalta 20mg for anxiety. It is really causing my anxiety to worsen. Hydroxyzine is helping has anyone else had this effect?

Hi Track1997: Ah, medication, such complexity! From my point of view as a layperson and not a professional, I would seek a professional with training in psychopharacology and therapy. That would be a psychiatrist, although be aware that some psychiatrists have training in psychopharmacology but do not therapy. That means you would have to find two physicians to deal with the mental component. Maybe see your GP and get a referral? Or start searching the Web for the best choices you can find and make contact? Members here do a great job being sympathetic and helping the best they can, which is great, but to get to the root of the problem you need persons with advanced training and licensing.

I’ve been on Cymbalta 30 mg for 3 years now. It was rough the first few months feeling up and down. I have tried three other meds this seems to be the one that is “working” or I’m just scared of changing something else. Also if you ever forget to take it prepare for some brain zaps and headaches it’s kinda scary. This medication has helped me calm down significantly tho compared to being on none!
