They're both good.: Both sertraline and Cymbalta [duloxetine] are fine medications with pros and cons. Some factors in choosing between them are potential side effects, cost, other conditions you have and other medications you've tried in the past. It's best to talk this through with your physician. I hope this answer helps.

Individual Response: As already pointed out there is really no way to know which antidepressant will be most effective or better tolerated for a particular individual. However, in groups, some literature indicates that snris such as Cymbalta (duloxetine) may be slightly more effective for major depression than ssris such as zoloft.
