In reply to Why isn't CYMBALTA as popular as one would think?, posted by qbsbrown on January 14, 2006, at 3:28:25
I had high hopes for Cymbalta, and went on it shortly after it came out. Unfortunately, for me there was no noticeable advance over Zoloft, plus it had the added effect of raising my blood pressure and making me irritable. These were showstoppers for me. Makes me wonder if others experienced that as well.
When I was coming off it, I noticed a few minor "brain zaps." Must be the NE component because I never had that with a plain SSRI.
Still waiting for the next big thing,
Ray
