"have been on cymbalta for a little over 3 months. it has changed my life for the better. my anxiety had gotten to the point that i was hiding in the restroom at work during episodes almost everyday. i am able to communicate what i am thinking more clearly. i don&#039;t break out in a sweat if something isn&#039;t going the way i think it should. i feel like myself before the panic/anxiety attacks started several years ago. i was dieting when i started taking cymbalta and lost more weight than i had been averaging. didn&#039;t have as much appetite as usual, which wasn&#039;t a bad thing. the irritability is gone and i am a lot more pleasant to be around. i am me again."
