I am making the switch to Cymbalta from Effexor XR , I have been on it since 03...so 4 yrs..I am nervous to say the least!
most of the reason is the high BP..my diastolic number is 100..my BP has typically been low...until effexor..it has crept up over the yrs..
I am on 300 of effexor xr (down from 375 a few months ago..) and am supposed to be making a lateral move to cymbalta...60mgs..I am wondering if I should do a small transition period..150 and 30? then mabye 75 and 60? then off the E totally?
I am nervous as hell..effexor has yanked me out of a serious bout of Major Depression..and has done me well over the years..I know how hellish it can be to go off of it, I am hoping that Cymbalta, since it is the same class, will keep some of the worse withdrawal effects away...
I have 2 boys, 10 and 7, and I cannot be down for the count very long!!!
