So, even if I were to initiate a Cymbalta trial, I would probably still require Remeron.How similar is Cymbalta to Effexor? Is Cymbalta broader acting, more narrow? I don't know enough yet to make an informed decision.
Is there any one med that is comparable to the combo of Effexor/Remeron?
Or for that matter, any med that is comparable to Remeron in its ability to potentiate Effexor and/or Cymbalta?
Thanks for your time, it is much appreciated!
