Sorry, I have some catching up to do. Busy week.
Cymbalta (duloxetine) is another atypical antidepressant. This is also an SNRI, like Effexor, so it blocks the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. It is labeled for treatment of both depressive and anxiety (PD, GAD, OCD and PTSD) disorders.
Cymblata is similar to Effexor. Side effects are generally mild, and include decreased appetite, increased sweating, fatigue, dry mouth, and nausea. Wear sunscreen...photosensitivity is a side effect.
**One unlabeled use of Cymbalta is for treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. It decreases neuropathic pain. Cool!
Take Cymbalta twice a day, swallowing it whole. It usually takes 1-4 weeks to work :)
