Have you tried other SSRI's in the past and had the same reaction as Lexapro?
Lexapro was the drug from Hades for me. LOL
My mom was on Cymbalta for a while, she loved it. She lost weight, had more energy, and her depression seemed to clear (and anxiety).
I don't think anyone can tell you how it will work for you however. It may work wonders, it may make you more fat and more miserable.
It's one of those "try it and rule it out" things.
If you think you can do this without any meds, that's the road I'd go down. BUT if your life is being altered daily from your anxiety, then you need something.
