"cymbalta is so far the only medication that has noticeably helped with my depression and anxiety. i had more confidence and less anxiety while taking it. i say &quot;had&quot; because i turned 26 recently and no longer have insurance and cymbalta is extremely expensive, something like $216 with coupon, so i switched to lexapro. i will write a review on lexapro once i get experience it&#039;s affects. cymbalta is the way to go if you can afford it though."
