Hi.
> Well, my order of Milnacipran is shipped out and today I am seeing my pdoc to get Cymbalta. I will probably try the Cymbalta first... I'm not sure that there would be much difference between the two.
There is a giant difference between the two drugs if one works and the other one doesn't. Please don't exclude either one based upon your experience with the first of the two. Scientists haven't determined all of the properties of each individual drug to be able to conclude such things as interchangeability. The placement of one atom can make all the difference in the world. One must account for not just what these drugs do, but precisely where in the brain they do them. Just like in real estate, it's "location, location, location".
Good luck with Cymbalta. If for no other reason, it makes sense to try it first because of its availability locally.
