> Anyway, Cymbalta is part of the same class of drugs as Effexor, but is also quite different from Effexor, too. Effexor hits serotonin at lower doses, and adds an effect on norepinephrine at mid-range doses, adding a mild effect on dopamine at the highest doses. Cymbalta, on the other hand, has a much more balanced profile: it it hits 80% 5HT and 20% NE
What's 5HT and NE?
I'm constantly amazed at the knowledge people here possess. Where do you learn about all this?
Sometimes I wonder if my pdoc is pushing the new drugs because the drug reps are giving him nice *incentives*.
