I've taken both cymbalta and pristiq (the brand name for the drug you're talking about). They definitely made me feel very different. Cymbalta to me felt like a super-powerful-SSRI. It was very calming and I could just lay back in my recliner and be perfectly at peace for hours. I didn't get much done on it though. Pristiq for me so far (3 weeks) seems to have a subtle mood lifting effect, but I just don't feel like I'm taking anyting, it feels more like a trick, or a placebo effect. I don't know for sure. On Cymbalta you definitely can feel it. On pristiq you might just sort of notice one day that your mood is a bit better. For be both cause pretty severe sexual side effects.
