I don't know much about Cymbalta but I do know that doctors tend to feel more comfortable putting their patients on meds that they feel have been tried and true. Prozac has been around so long and can definetly work at a fairly low dose. I'm doing the Prozac 10mg and Lamictal thing because Prozac has worked for me in the past but in higher doses tends to make me worse. My doc felt that adding the Lamictal would enable me to get the benefit of Prozac without the higher dose side effects. Plus she said that Prozac and Lamictal have been shown to work well together without any problem interactions. Lamictal definetly seems to have given the Prozac a little extra punch that had been lost for me after long term use.
