Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me answer a medication question. I've been on Celexa (an SSRI) for the past several months and just switched to Cymbalta (an SNRI) to see if it is more effective. Will I have to wait the standard 3-8 weeks to see full effects from the Cymbalta since it is a different classification of anti-depressant?
