Brief Answer:
vistaril better.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome here.

Do you mean vistaril (hydroxyzine)?

In my opinion, vistaril is better for mild anxiety though it can cause some sedation and slight headache at times.

Cymbalta takes around 2 weeks to show its effects and has withdrawal symptoms.

I would prefer vistaril for mild anxiety.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
Thanks.
