> When you say Cymbalta worked better, was that in terms of remission of depression or fewer adverse side effects or both?

>>>It's been a while since I've been on it. There are probably still posts of mine in the archive somewhere but I can tell you that Lexapro pooped out on me and I was switched over to Cymbalta. And you're right, members of babble didn't seem to take to it like I did.

Cymbalta worked best to help with the depression but had some SEs of its own. I remember having sexual side effects as well as being very thirsty. However, I was willing to deal with those SEs knowing that it was helping with my depression. Cymbalta was weight-neutral for me and when combined with Wellbutrin helped a bit with the lethargy...either that or since the depression was lifting, I naturally had more energy.

Hope this helps.
