Thanks for the link.

there are quite a few members who take cymbalta or effexor, if you want more information on how people have got on with these medications try doing a search of the forum for "effexor" or "cymbalta".

Until recently (less than a year, I think) these meds were simply called "atypical" antidepressants.

SNRI is a new term so not too unusual not to have heard it before.

I am currently tapering off effexor XR and slowly getting on cymbalta.

My autonomic doc suggested it, says she has better results with cymbalta. My psychiatrist told me effexor only works as a norepinephrine reuptake med in high doses (300mg and above). Cymbalta works on both neurotransmitters at all doses.

I'm no expert, but this is what my team is telling me.
