> Well, my doctor has yet again refused to prescribe me Nardil and is this time trying 60mg Cymbalta (duloxetine) for my GAD, panic attacks and unipolar depression. I'm also taking 600mg lithium, 40mg buspirone and 600mg Lyrica.

Yes it has the same effects, but whether it is as bad as Effexor probably depends on the person. My doctor spoke to a drug rep that said it is better than Effexor in that area, but obviously a drug rep is pretty biased.

For me, Cymbalta was maybe a little better in terms of sexual side effects than Effexor, and Pristiq was definitely better than both Effexor and Cymbalta.
