Brief Answer:
You should take antidepressant
Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.
In my views, there is nothing wrong in taking antidepressant. Sometime, physical disorder leads to anxiety symptoms and antidepressant would help to control such symptoms.If you are not getting benefit from cymbalta, then you can try some antidepressant like escitalopram or venlafaxine. It would help to control anxiety as well as somatic symptoms. You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise.
In case, you need further help, you can ask
