Yes, I am aware that Cymbalta works on norepenephrine and that it has not been approved for anxiety disorders (that will probably come later). Wellbutrin actually calmed me down, but left me very depressed. My question about the side-effects was more about a curiosity as to why these side-effects have appeared recently since I have been taking this medication for five weeks now.
> Why would cymbalta NOT cause problems with anxiety. Wellbutrin is known to cause anxiety in those predisposed to it and it works on norep. The fact that effexor is also an SNRI but is suppossed to be good for anxiety is probably because at lower doses effexor barely works on norep.

> Cymbalta works on serotonin and norep. equally, so I would imagine for some people that is just going to be way to activating. Cymbalta has not been approved for anxiety disorders yet.
