I'm not sure exactly -- it is probably mostly a "patent extender" for Effexor, although maybe some people respond better to it if it is "cleaner" like Lexapro theoretically is.

Effexor does have a ratio (I don't think it's an exact science) of 5HT to NE just as Cymbalta has.

It is an SNRI, so it plays a role on both transmitters. Considering how energizing and anxiety making it was for me when I took it like 15 years ago, it probably is stronger at NE, but I couldn't say. I think everyone is different and some people respond more "calmly" to stimulants.

Best I can guess.
