> Good news!!! My psychiatrist informed me that Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, the company that manufactures Effexor, will soon have a competitor that is finalizing an anti-depressant that works in a similar manner to Effexor--hopefully without all of the unbearable side effects. I guess we'll find out soon!

Do you know the name of this drug? Do you think you might be confusing it with Cymbalta?

Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of Prozac, is supposedly very near final approval of a drug called duloxetine (Cymbalta). Like Effexor, it is a dual action antidepressant that works to inhibit the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. Lilly still says that they expect to see it approved this summer. I have my doubts. It looks like a good drug, though.
