In reply to Luck with Cymbalta, no luck with Effexor?, posted by mogger on December 30, 2004, at 16:15:23
> Hi everyone,
> Has anyone had luck with Cymbalta after not having any luck on Effexor? I am worried as my sister was on Effexor and it aggravated things but from what I am reading they are similar so I am thinking that the outcome will probably be the same. Just had to go off MAOI's as she had a hypertensive reaction. It sucks because she was actually helped by them. We are running out of hope as she has been on just about every AD and had ECT with only partial benefits.
I agree with the others. I have taken both and find they are very different. Cymbalta really is working for me. With effexor I retained some depression and got extra jumpy in addition. Not so with Cymbalta.
I was to report to someone (sorry can't remember who, but I did remember to report, that is great improvement!) how I was doing after another month had passed. I think I am in my 10th week with this drug and still doing well.Donna
