> ... i asked my doc about Cymbalta, but she said she would try me on EffexorXR next if Lexapro doesn't help.I wonder if your pdoc is hesitant to use the cymbalta b/c it is newer. I sensed that my pdoc was.
I take 40mg of Lex for depression and GAD. I have only had a partial response, but it does help. I don't remember how long it too to kick in. You may need a little more to feel an effect. Anxiety often requires a larger dose than depression.
