Q: currently on 60mg cymbalta and 5mg abilify but still experiencing panic attacks and anxiety in social situations. recommendations i could talk to a doctor about?

: Suggest contacting your doctor and inform that your current medication is not fully controlling your panic and anxiety. Dose can be adjusted, or new medication can be substituted, and your physician should be able to more successfully accomplish this task. But he (she) needs to know how you are doing!
