> Anyone have any insight on sleeping with effexor? I currently sleep well on Lexapro, did not sleep well on Effexor, but would like to try Cymbalta for motivation and chronic pain.
and now am back on Effexor. At 60mg the Cymbalta was doing about a 75% job on my chronic pain but I had no motivation and still couldn't sleep well at night without doxepin.
I am now on 75mg Effexor and it's really helping my joint pain at this low dose. I'm amazed. 30mg of Cymbalta didn't touch it for me. I now also take Wellbutrin and clonazepam and am doing quite well overall - chronic pain, depression anxiety, OCD and SP.
I've read that Cymbalta works very well for some people. It may be worth the try. When dicontinuing Effexor, going to Cymbalta, then back to Effexor, I had no "withdrawal" symptoms at all.
