A member asked:
I am taking lexapro for the last 12 months.i am now starting cymbalta (duloxetine) today.will the side effects start again.thanks?

It could: Lexapro and Cymbalta (duloxetine) share some features in common, but are not the same drug. You could experience different activity and side effects -- but hopefully the balance will be in your favor. Assuming you stopped Lexapro due to not feeling it helped you, or because of side effects?
