> My pdoc can't wait for this drug to be released and has been talking it up for months. He thinks I may benefit from it but I am very frightened due to my horrible experience with Effexor. I was on Effexor for approx. 3 months and all it did for me was increase the depression, anxiety, and agitation. I won't even go into the withdrawal experience.

> NicoleWhy not start on the Parnate and see how that goes? Keep checking these boards to see if those who reacted like you did to Effexor have similar
experiences with Cymbalta for your future reference. You may not need to know about the Cymbalta if the Parnate works out well for you. If the Parnate doesn't work out adequately, you may have a better sense of whether you want to try it from reading about others experiences. Of course, you can't predict with certainty how you're going to react by reading about others but it can give you more info in making your decision.
