In reply to Effexor -) Cymbalta (and back?), posted by TehDizzyBroad on January 24, 2007, at 15:55:00
Welcome tehdizzybroad.
I'm sorry I can't answer your question; but I'll tag along here as would also like to receive an answer to your ?.
I've gone the Effexor-XR route many times and am done with it. Last time terrible withdrawal.
My PCP always brings up Cymbalta and I just shake my head like 'how can it be that much diff' than E-XR' ... but, I don't really know.
I have an injury to my c-spine and I think my PCP sees the commercial and thinks he can 'kill two birds w/ one stone'.
I have depression which is difficult to treat. Sometimes I wonder if it is because it is not depression at all. Often it seems very situational. I DO HAVE ANXIETY which is here whether I'm happy or sad, and suffer panic attacks at unpredictable times.
Hope we get some Cymbalta users feedback; especially re: differences between it & E-XR.
My reason for first trying Eff-XR was because of its anti-anxiety properties. It alone didn't treat my anxiety. I was on it when I had a nervous breakdown nearly 2yrs ago.
bestwishes, cf
