"i was on wellbutrin, prozac and zoloft (trying each per my doctors orders, waiting about 6 weeks, repeat with next) for anxiety.  i stopped even trying &quot;instant&quot; anti-anxiety drugs (xanax, valium) years ago because they &quot;zombified&quot; me too much.

cymbalta is amazing.  after about 2 weeks the side effects disappeared entirely.  i can concentrate better, i sleep very soundly, and no panic attacks!

for those having insomnia issues... some people here say take it at night.  i had exactly the opposite experience.  taking cymbalta at night/dinner time would make sleep nearly impossible/restless.  taking it first thing in the morning i get a little tired in the afternoon, but nothing a latte won&#039;t fix.  i sleep like a baby now;  which i haven&#039;t done ever."
