Good afternoon @mcd123, To answer your first question, I have been taken Cymbalta for GAD, high anxiety for 2 years now. I tapered off Nortryptilene before starting Cymbalta. Although it was great for support healthy sleep, it didn't do as much for the anxiety which was causing significantly more pain. That's what anxiety does and I needed help in the mornings. I replaced the evening Nortryptilene with a 2:1 CBD/THC tincture of medical cannabis. It is working well for me so far.
Oh....and I also tapered off part of my Gabapentin dosage from 1200 mg to 600 mg.
May you be healthy and whole.

I stopped taking all anxiety medicines several years ago due to some serious side affects and recently started medical marijuana including Tincture with a higher CBD and less THC content and it seems to be working. I've always been high stress, high anxiety type A personality my entire life yet at 61 years old I noticed that high anxiety and stress, worrying about everything etc has wreaked havoc on my health, heart, CNS etc.
So far so good with Tincture. Only thing I must be careful of is with my high anxiety that the higher the THC amounts the more my anxiety is agitated so I get medical marijuana products with always a higher CBD to THC ratio or at least a 1/1 ratio.
