In reply to Cymbalta vs Effexor, posted by kezia on January 12, 2008, at 20:03:35
I have been on both.. Effexor worked for me for quite a while.. had a couple of dosage increases along the way but was on it for a couple of years maybe.. It pooped out. I have been on cymbalta for about a year now. It took away the really depressed thoughts of suicide but it does me feel emotionally numb in a way..I don't have motivation or anythng but I don't know when i last did have any. It does work for me so I put up with the numbness.. It's not total numbness and it has gotten better but I feel "dulled".
I take it with provigil and now buspar. Alone it wasn't doing enough but was keeping suicide thoughts away. I did get nervous on and off from it.. i didn't know if I was going to be "wired" or tired when i took it. But I react strangely to meds sometimes so you willhave to try it out for yourself..Worth a try anyway
