"i am an 18 year old male. i started cymbalta 3 weeks ago for generalized anxiety. my anxiety got to a point where i couldn&#039;t even sit down and watch t.v or surf the internet without getting stressed. my stress started to control me. it was controlling simple decisions, it controlled what i did! i started to avoid everything that would possibly stress me out. it became a viscous cycle. even things like simply playing my guitar or attending my college classes was becoming difficult to do without getting anxious. now after taking cymbalta i feel like i have the opportunity to be myself again, and without worrying about getting anxious or stressed! now i control my anxiety, instead of it controlling me! only side effect is delayed orgasm."
