Has anyone had a good experience with cymbalta for anxiety? I'm very sensitive to SSRI so psychiatrist thinks this is a good alternative. My panic disorder is completely debilitating. Can you help with encouragement or experiences with this med. I think it may be the only one I haven't tried. Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

I used to take Cymbalta and found it was very effective at treating my anxiety and depression so I feel it's a good option so I hope it works well for you.

I have been taking Cymbalta for about 3 years now. My anxiety has basically disappeared! Its my depression that I still work on a lot, but then again, don't we all? :/
Every person is different, but try to remain positive, even if Cymbalta isn't the right medicine for you, you WILL find the right one, I promise. Keep us updated on your journey.
Many good thoughts and prayers being sent to you and everyone in the forum.
