In reply to Cymbalta and tachycardia?, posted by karaS on October 3, 2004, at 15:10:03
You may not need the XR formulation on Cymbalta, though. They both hit the same neurotransmitters, but they're otherwise unrelated drugs. The molecules themselves apparently are quite different. I have been told that the half life of Cymbalta is a good deal longer, and I know that my pdoc has me taking the full dose once per day, rather than twice.
Give it a try. It's likely that it won't cause the same effects that Effexor does, and if you've been having trouble finding a drug that works, it's worth giving it a try before giving up.
Good luck.
