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.

Let us know how it ends up working out for you!
Thanks for the positive outlook on Cymbalta. I am hoping it does what they say it will. I got to bed earlier last night (2 am) so maybe it's starting to work some. Time will tell.
