I suffer with Generalised Anxiety Disorder which comes in episodes (usually lasting about 6 months with long periods of being fine in between) - it's very disabling and horrible. I've tried lots of different drugs in the past. Amytriptiline kind of works but has horrible side effects. SSRIs haven't worked for me. Diazepam is brilliant but of course highly addictive so I wouldn't take it unless totally desperate. However, having now been on Duloxetine for about a month I feel it really has made a big difference to me. I feel about 75% better and have got my appetite back. Side effects have been minimal (slightly funny taste in my mouth but that's about it). Such a relief.
