What Causes Anxiety Issues While On Cymbalta?

I think you need to stick on
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for usng Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
Cymbalta during the first week of treatment or on increasing dose causes some form of increased anxiety and jitteriness which generally resolves in a week or less time. I mean to say that the side effects experienced by you are time limited side effects which will probably disappear in a week or less time. Having said this I feel it will be better to continue the medication as prescribed and xanax on need basis if required.
I must acknowledge that if there is too much anxiety it is better to go down with 30 mg of cymbalta for a period of one week and than up the dose to 40 mg.
I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
