"i am a 23 year old girl and i have suffered from anxiety for as long as i can remember. i had tried so many different medicines from paxil, zoloft, prozac and celexa... nothing worked. i would get a little better but once again, i would suffer a horrible bout of anxiety attacks. the first day i started cymbalta i felt a rush of calmness over me. i immediately felt at ease and not as ansy and nervous as i always was. i could finally relax and do everyday normal things without worrying about when i would suffer another attack and would ruin my day. i have not had an attack in about 3 months now and feel so great! i do not feel zoned out like i did on the other medicines. i am happy and confident and overall have a better sense of well being."
