Antidepressants like Effexor?

Question

I need to go on them again. I remeber Effexor worked well, but made me sweat a lot and I had a rough time getting off of it. Are there any other anti-depressants that work like Effexor?

Answer 1

Cymbalta is the other SNRI, meaning it too works on serotonin and norepinephrine.  SSRIs (most of the antidepressants) just work on serotonin.  Wellbutrin works mosly on dopamine.  If Effexor worked for your, Cymbalta might be worth a try.  I here it's easier to stop, too.  Talk to your doc and see what s/he has to say.
