> Attention SLS what happened with the Cymbalta?
Hi.
Cymbalta didn't work out for me in the long run, despite some encouraging results early in treatment.
Although Cymbalta and Effexor are similar in some ways, they are different enough that how one reacts to one drug might not be identical to how one reacts to the other. Effexor has demonstrated substantial effectiveness in treating GAD. Although Cymbalta might be just as effective as Effexor for GAD, I don't think it has been studied closely enough for that indication. If Cymbalta doesn't work, I would not rule-out Effexor.
Good luck.
