Hi Nicole,Sorry but I don't think I am going to be of any help to you. I am currently on Zoloft which if I recall was your last AD. It doesn't seem to help that much but it is the most benign of all the AD's I have been on. I have been on them all. Most of them have caused me the anxiety/agitation thing along with a good dose of paranoia. So much fun!!
I also take Neurontin and tegretol as mood stabilizers. My doc and I aren't positive I am bi-polar but we think that I am based on my reactions to all AD's. I am also weaning off of lamictal.
In terms of anxiety I am almost positive that the tegretol has been a help. It was kind of a pain to get on it though, at least for me. So for now I kind of use the tegretol neurontin as a base and have been searching for the miracle AD ever since.
How many days have you been on the cymbalta now? Take care, sorry I couldn't be of any more help.
