Yes, I switched from Effexor to Cymbalta when I just became so flat. The biggest change I noticed is that I wasn't so flaky anymore, and I began to care about things again--like deadlines, which I just didn't care about on Effexor. I didn't care about much of anything while on Effexor, but as I've said before, maybe that's the point. Maybe at the time I needed to dull my emotions so much so that I could work on them in therapy w/o them overwhelming me.
I'm much happier on Cymbalta, only 60 mg and I was up to 225 on Effexor. In the last months, my pdoc has added Lyrica and that has made a huge difference all around. But I still am so glad I made the switch to Cymbalta. Some people really don't like it, though.
