Cymbalta has worked well for me for several years, altho it's now pooping out & I've gone back to Cipralex. Mfgr's info says Cymbalta is better balanced, gives more NE effect (but NOT anxiety in my experience). Cymbalta has received a "bad press" in the prof. lit. for some reason; talking to pdocs, it works better than Effexor for some people but the averages are what the drug plans go by (argggh!).
My experience: Moderate doses of Effexor drive me nuts with anxiety, Cymbalta up to 90mg/day is virtually side-effect free, except the usual sexual dysfunction.
