Is Cymbalta Or Effexor Better For Anxiety?
How does cymbalta compare to effexor? Contraindications? Effects with regard to heart disease? Effexor denies effects of triglycerides, but mine went from no problems to sky high readings of 1250 and have continued. How well will cymbalta maintain as weaning off effexor and on to cymbalta?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Effexor is contraindicated in heart disease patients. Cymbalta may also increase blood pressure so it need to be cautiously used in heart patient. Both Cymbalta and Effexor belong to same class of drug. Effexor weaning is related to discontinuation syndrome. So its better to wean off under professional guidance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
