The idea that NET inhibiting drugs are good for anxiety is not really all that strightforward.
For some people the noradrenergic drugs greatly increase anxiety. For some forms of anxiety and panic they appear to help. There are probably a number of factors related to why this is.I am assuming that both low NE and elevated NE can lead to certain forms of anxiety. Just as Serotonin can be both anxiolytic and anxiogenic.
Listen to what the drug does for you and don't worry about what the drug is "approved to do".
