Cymbalta is very new -- approved in August 2004. Like Effexor, it is a dual action NE/5HT reuptake inhibitor, but unlike Effexor it's more balanced. For me, it's worked about as well as Effexor -- thankfully at much lower doses! -- but I've still needed augmentation. In fact, I'm not sure that it's doing much of anything, but my pdoc likes it so...

There's no word yet on whether Cymbalta raises BP, but I know that it's being watched for. I'm sure by now someone has some idea about it. The good news, of course, is that if you have any anxiety problems the BP meds may help with it. (I took propranalol for a while -- LOVED it! Miracle drug, for my anxiety.)

Good luck.
