hi there,

I was a longtime veteran of effexor for five years or so. I have been on cymbalta since its release and I can definitely say that [for me] Cymbalta has a moderately superior anxiolytic and antidepressant effect profile.

I am very med-sensitive, but the good news is that I have slightly less overall side effects on cymbalta when comparing it to effexor. *However, I do think that in comparing the recommended dosing levels of the two drugs, Cymbalta is more powerful than Effexor. I would highly recommend getting the 20mg pills and stay at 20mg per day for the first week or two. Then, when you feel up to it, try 30mg daily. And then go up conservatively. I know many people who have found that their optimal dosage level is well below the standard of 60mg.
