A very late update from me! Had no problems with the switch, but cymbalta was not good to me. Within a week, my appetite was raging and I had lost all the motivation for exercise and healthy eating that I had with effexor. After six months or so I had episodes of heart palpitations that nearly made me faint--I thought I was dying. Despite a lifetime of MAJOR panic attacks, i have never felt anything like it. I went off and started taking lexapro again. It's ok. I am not walking around crying or terrified, so I guess it is working somewhat. I have gained tons of weight and I am always tired. Exactly why I went off it in the first place. So... there's my update.
