I too have been on Cymbalta (60 mg) for about six months and it has helped my leg pain and has taken off the edge....I am much calmer now! It did take a few weeks for my body to adapt but as of now the only side effect has been a loss of appetite which has caused me to lose over 20 lbs..I have more energy and now swim (best exercise) 4 hours a week.....I am now 62 but probably could pass for a young 60!

My neuro changed me to Cymbalta which helps with the depression, some nerve pain, and my axienty. See if your neuro will change you or talk to you about other alternatives. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably . And never regret anything that made you smile.

I've had it a long time, but not this bad. i take xanax, which helps sometimes, but lately not so much.. It's gotten worse since I had to give my Mom CPR last year. She is doing better..but I am in constant stress and worry now. Combined with my TM symptoms, it's overwhelming. I try breathing exercises sometimes, but still can't shake this. How do you deal with anxiety? Thanks, Kevin
