Is Cymbalta More Effective Than Lexapro For Depression?
Question: I am 79 years old. I moved to a retirement place 4 years ago and was taking Cymbalta when I came here but was changed to Lexapro for depression a year ago. I wasn't doing good with depression or arthritis pain and a doctor changed me to Lexapro and other scripts. This was for depression and loss of memory. Should I go back on Cymbalta?
Thank you,
