> You may not need the XR formulation on Cymbalta, though. They both hit the same neurotransmitters, but they're otherwise unrelated drugs. The molecules themselves apparently are quite different. I have been told that the half life of Cymbalta is a good deal longer, and I know that my pdoc has me taking the full dose once per day, rather than twice.

Racer,I definitely won't give up before trying it. I'm just worrying. Hopefully I won't have any problem and all of the worry will have been for nothing. Even if it does become an issue, I could probably take a small amount 3 or 4 times a day if I had to - until the XR version came out.
Thanks for the pep talk!
