It isn't working for me as monotherapy, but with Wellbutrin on board my depression is in remission, which has reduced my anxiety quite a bit.

Thank you for responding, Racer. I do find Cymbalta somewhat sedating in that I can hardly peel myself out of bed, I sleep so well. But then when it's time to go to bed, I don't feel sleepy, so just keep on reading or something quiet, and wait till sleep overtakes me. This is very bad for doing anything productive and keeping a regular schedule.up 'n' down
