> This is a thread to a current study (August 2004) on Cymbalta which sounds positive. What surprised me is that the comparison is between Cymbalta and Paxil. Most studies are considering Cymbalta's comparator to be Paxil. I always assumed it would be Effexor.

Paxil was probably chosen as the comparator because there was a better chance that Cymbalta would be shown superior. Effexor has already been found to be superior to Paxil, so it would not be in their best interest to take on such a formidable foe.
