Actually the dose range for Effexor goes up to (and sometimes over) 300 mg. That's true that the NE effects don't happen until you hit 150 mg. but with Zoloft and Paxil you don't get the NE effect at all - no matter how high you go in dosage. I hope that Cymbalta lives up to the hype. On paper it does sound like it could be great. Someone posted fairly recently who lives in Canada and her doctor is starting her in a duloxetine trial. She is not happy about it though. I told her that there are a lot of people here who would gladly welcome that opportunity.
I am going off of Effexor now and I didn't have any side effects at all until I got to 37.5 mg. Now I am going extremely slowly so that I don't get those awful effects. Going off of Paxil can be hell also. It was for me. Do you know anything about the half-life of Cymbalta?
