Has anyone had good results with going from Cymbalta to some other low cost depression medicine? I also have fibro (taken care of by Lyrica) and anxiety (taken care of by Xanax). I am also wondering about the chage from Cymbalta to something else and the "reaction" it will have on my mind. And, yes I will discuss this next month with my PDOC, but wanted to ask if anyone has had any good results, in case he gives me options for a new med.
Cymbalta works on serotonin and norepinephrine. A compatible will have to be found that works on the same neurotransmitters.
