Did you come to a decision yet? Having been on both effexor and Pristiq, it is true that there are far less side effects with Pristiq. It was mildly activating, although for me, it destabilized my mood. But if I recall correctly, that is not an issue for you. Cymbalta was good in many ways except I had a side effect which required me to discontinue (GI pain). Fwiw, heavy NE hitters make me drowsy and even worsen my pain condition (strattera) though I think that is an atypical response. Cymbalta was the exception, and I wished I could tolerate it. Welcome, btw.
