Does anyone here take cymbalta for their GAD?

Question

I had a TIA this summer which has caused a bit of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and my GAD to flare up.  My NP just gave me an RX for Cymbalta.  I trust her 200% but have not really heard too much about it used with GAD?  Does anyone here take it for that and have you had good results?  

I have done my research on the medication which has led me to ask about it's use with GAD.  I also understand that everyone will react differently to the med but just was curious how it is working in general on the average for folks.  

For me, after my TIA, i have this fascination with my body now - every little ache and pain i stress out over b/c the blood clot that caused the TIA started out as a headache i had put off as stress-related.  So, i spend 90% of my day worrying about my aches and pains and looking stuff up on the net which is driving me crazy - she seems to think this will help me at least jump start the PTSD to subside.

Thanks and i appreciate ur time and effort

I take Cymbalta for anxiety.  My anxiety was percipitated by a death of my ex husband.  It started out as flip flop feeling in my chest and then the "fright" feeling for no reason.  I could have these feelings many times during the day for no reason.  I think it works really well and helps keep me focused also.  It also works on people that have fibromyalgia and neuropthapy from diabetes.
