Lexapro vs Cymbalta

My doctor has had me on Cymbalta for the past year for Depression. I
was advised to take it in the am. However, my Axiety and frustrations
at work are getting worse. It could be “job burn out too”. I saw the
Dr. about 1 1/2 weeks ago.I told him the anxiety is much worse during
the day. He started me on 10mg of Lex.. ea day. I learned that Dep &
Anx go together sometimes. So far I seem to get sleepy but I also cut
down on the caffine intake. I really hope the Lex.. helps w/the
anxiety–I have a really stressful job. Has Lexapro helped anyone with
Anxiety??

    yes, lex has helped me with anxiety when I needed it.
    I didn’t have to take it for long. For a long time I
    was on celexa for depression and Lorazapam for anx. I
    changed to Lex because I lost my job and insurance and
    my PCP only had the lex samples so I changed and have
    been fine for the most part ever since and that has
    been for over three years.
