Roobie,
Cymbalta is an SSNRI just like Effexor. They both inhibit reuptake of Serotonin and Nor-Epinehrine. My research tells me that Cymbalta works on Nor-Epinehrine at lower dosages than Effexor, which makes sense for me since I was only on a 75 mg dose of Effexor.
Cymbalta was suppose to be everything Effexor is but without the side-effects. I know some on the forum have found this to be true while others did not have luck with Cymbalta.
Right now I am still in the trial stage. I do know if it can produce the same results without the dangerous withdrawal effects I will be happy.
I also know I went this far with it, so I am going to stick it out a bit longer...
