IT's common for pdocs to transition you directly from effexor to prozac, stay on prozac a while, then withdrawl off prozac. Sounds like you want to stay on the
DULOXETINE CAP,EC. Possible Synonyms: CYMBALTA, CYMBALTA 20MG CAP, CYMBALTA 30MG CAP, CYMBALTA 60MG CAP PROZAC, PROZAC 10MG CAPSULE, PROZAC 20MG CAPSULE.
