I took cymbalta for about a year. I started out with 30mg and I had a lot of side effects, but it was an effective AD for me. I had general anxiety during the time I was taking it, but only one or two panic attacks (in a whole year). Since stopping cymbalta I have panic attax about 2x a month. '
my pdoc also told me that cymbalta was very effective for anxiety, ultimately, I had to add a benzodiazepine (klonopin) to the mix to control symptoms.
I recommend taking it at night so that you'll sleep through the side effects (should you have any).
Funny thing about cymbalta is that it made me feel caffeinated for about 60 minutes, then I totally crashed. Sedating...
good luck- let us know what happens!
