    I saw my GP today. He was reluctant to let me try Abilify as it's primary usage isn't to treat anxiety.

    Instead, he has started me on Cymbalta (Duloxetine) 30mg once a day. I've not tried this medication before & I've not really heard anything about it.

    Has anyone tried Cymbalta before or know anything about it?

    Thanks

    My sis loovvveeessss Cymbalta and says that its the only (1) that ever worked for her. She also had terrible anxiety.

    Next time you see your GP, tell him that Abilify is an (add on) when all other AD's fail...and that you would at least like to try it (2mg daily)....

    Let's see how you like the Cymbalta first though..my sis has allll kindddss of energy now, when she used to be blaaaaaa.....

    Thanks, I hope to just feel even slight relief. I took my first dose this evening & feel fine so far. A couple of meds that I've tried made me feel awful the first day, so fingers crossed.

    I'm due back for a check up at the end of the month to see how it's going.

    I'm glad it worked for your sister!
