A member asked:
Tramadol significantly improves my anxiety, attention and vigilance (associated with norepinephrine). should i look in to snris like fetzima/cymbalta?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a physician: While all SNRIs inhibit both serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake, research indicates that some of the newer agents may be more selective for these neurotransmitters than others. See your prescribing physician for medication adjustment.
