Minnie-Haha:
That's good to know. So it sounds like, overall, Cymbalta has been effective for you. I read some of your other posts earlier about Cymbalta and I think you were considering going off of it? It's good to know you've stuck with it and things have gotten better. I suffer more from anxiety and panic, I think, than depression. Does that describe you too? I'm also guessing that Cymbalta is more like Effexor, more activating, so I'm just curious how that "activating" aspect affects your anxiety.
Thanks/good luck
Chris> The side effects were pretty annoying the first couple of weeks, but it has been very effective on my depression AND anxiety. I have gained a little weight (5 pounds in 2 months) and my BP has gone up a little -- so we've just reduced my dose from 60 to 40mg -- but these side effects may be atypical.
