If I were doing well on my current med, then I'd certainly think long and hard about switching. For me, though, I *wasn't* doing well on Effexor, and didn't do well on Prozac (at least not after the first few years), Celexa, Zoloft, Paxil, Wellbutrin or Lexapro.Anyway, my doc (this was my first visit to my new p-doc) said he'd prescribed Cymbalta to three people before me so far and hadn't had any calls with complaints so far. Of course, it's early times.
I'm going to start a thread with daily updates on efficacy and side effects, like SLS has done.
