In reply to Re: Survey. Did Cymbalta beat effexorXR/Milnacipran, posted by cloudnine on July 8, 2007, at 3:33:02
I was on Effexor and went all the way up to 225mg. I found that I was so tired all the time, forgetful and had no feelings. Took it for a year or two (see, I can't remember how long!)
Pdoc switched me to Cymbalta and I feel much better. I was as high as 80, but I've brought it down to 60mg. Pdoc finally added Provigil for afternoon tiredness, which I had with both drugs, and I feel much better. I feel more on Cymbalta, but still can't really cry, etc. which is the same as Effexor. I just found with Effexor that I just didn't care a lot of the times, which clearly interfered with my work. Deadlines? I didn't care.
For me, the switch worked. I feel less drugged.
