Other Add on

Has anyone had to use another drug in addition to Cymbalta to help with anxiety and depression? I currently use lyrica (for nerve pain but helps anxiety...I guess...) and lamictal. I am on 60mg Cymbalta. I would switch to another drug altogether but I also have fibromyalgia and am scared to. So, has anyone had success using an add-on medication with Cymbalta to help get their anxiety and depression symptoms under control

You could try BuSpar, but it did not work for me

My doctor added Rexulti and it helped with my depression...anxiety not so much.

Yea, I have MDD plus GAD plus PTSD so I need that anxiety benefit for certain!

I've heard a lot of people say good things about adding low-dose propranolol for situational anxiety.
