Anxiety has dogged me all my adult life. I take Cymbalta (60 Mg) each day for it. In this year of modern medicine, I frequently wonder if there’s something better than Cymbalta. I sleep by occasionally taking an Ambien. Perhaps that is one time per week. Please let me know of your recommendations so that I can discuss such with my doctor. Thanks for your help.

@glenner075 Hey,
I totally get where you’re coming from. I’ve been dealing with anxiety for a long time too, and sometimes it feels like the meds just stop doing much after a while. I haven’t tried Cymbalta myself, but I’ve been on a few different ones over the years. Some helped for a bit, others didn’t do much at all.

I’m actually thinking about trying something new soon, because I feel like my body got too used to what I was taking before. It’s good that you’re planning to talk to your doctor — sometimes it just takes a bit of trial and error to find what really fits.

You’re definitely not alone in this. Anxiety’s a sneaky thing — just when you think it’s under control, it shows up again. But the fact that you’re still looking for ways to manage it says a lot about your strength.

Hope you find something that helps you feel calmer and lighter soon. 💜
