You think withdrawal from Lexapro is what has been keeping you up all night? That doesn't sound fun
Cymbalta seems to be a wonderful drug. I'm sure you will love it. For those that don't know, in addition to treating depression like Lexapro does, it also treats Diabetic Nerve Pain. I believe Cymbalta is also a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SSNRI), which means that it affects two naturally occurring chemicals in the brain and spinal cord, that being serotonin and norepinephrine respectively. If I remember correctly, Lexapro is a SSRI, and is only a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
