A member asked:
How long does cymbalta (duloxetine) take to work for severe anxiety? i know it can take few weeks for it to help for depression but is it faster for anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treatment: for optimal results duloxetine therapy should be assessed at 2, 4, and up to 8 weeks. It offers more longterm benefits compared to short term benefits. Pending response, dose needs to be optimized as indicated and tolerated.
