Effexor is a "dual mode" drug like Cymbalta. They both inhibit norephinephrine and serotonin reuptake. Effexor additionally has an effect on dopamine.

Effexor has an interesting side effect list, but if tolerated can be a great drug. It is very hard to get off of once you have been on it for a while.

Your doc's call, of course, but just to let you know that there is something similar out there.
