It was wierd to talk to psychiatrist in a social setting I must admit... at any rate, here is the lowdown I got on Cymbalta... he has already been using it as he received training early on it's uses, etc... from what he has seen, it does NOT cause the same type of nasty withdrawals as Effexor... then again, he could be VERY wrong... I just wanted to pass this along for those of you who were concerned about it.

Buspar (buspirone) has a half-life of 2-3 hours.
