A question for those of you who have made the switch: how did you do it? Did your pdoc have you taper completely off the Effexor before starting you on Cymbalta, or was the change-over more abrupt? If abrupt, what dose of Effexor were you taking before you moved over to the newer medication?
I am currently on a high dose of Effexor XR. The drug had been helpful to me for a number of years, but has recently become less effective at keeping my depression at bay. This is why my pdoc suggested Cymbalta and why I'm considering it.
I'll be grateful for your responses.
