In reply to Cymbalta Does Not Seem To Work Compared To Effexor, posted by TommyIsland on September 21, 2005, at 1:14:23
I wish like anything that I could go off of Effexor. I have tried several times to go off of it and have had worse withdrawls then people describe.
In the past I tried to switched over to Cymbalta, tapering down the Effexor over a 2 month period. Finally I was on just Cymbalta for 3 days and felt I got hit by a truck because Effexor was keeping the pain away caused by Fibromyalgia. I had never realized before how much the Effexor was keeping me from being in pain!
The Cymbalta was almost like taking nothing. So, very discouraged, I went back on the Effexor.
