Prozac is easier to get off of when your done. Also it's a different type of drug. Prozac has been around for ages. While Cymbalta is fairly new. Check out the following websites. I think Prozac is better.
*Some Prozac advantages over other antidepressants are relatively mild withdrawal, low rate of weigh gain and lowest risk of suicide

i heard a few people say that Cymbalta can be ineffective. I believe prozac also be. i think the once weekly prozac is most effective. but between the two you mentioned...i would go with prozac.

I don't know what Cymbalta is, but I do know what prozac is due to the fact that i take it, i don't remember the dosage, i think its like 30 milli. a day or something. I guess it seems to have worked, because when I was taking it i felt at least somewhat normal, happy, whatever... but when I'm not on it, and i often am not, because i forget to refill it, i feel bored, and lost, lost in the sense that i don't really know what to do at all, and i seem tired and i just don't feel like being enthusiastic about anything. But, ultimately, the best thing to remember here, is that antidepressants are not a cure all. They help for the time being, but remember, your body will adjust to it and the dosage will have to be increased, then increased again, then increased again, etc... you get my point? eventually the dosage will be too much and you wont be able to take... the medicine is supposed to help you along, you're not really supposed to stay on it forever, whether you're clinically depressed due to an actual physical condition in your body, or if you're depressed due to an even in your life. just remember, you're body will always adjust to it, and you may not be able to take it anymore.

I like Prozac because it just makes me vegetative and watch the tube, you know, chill with beer and prozac. I'm glad the drug companies make legal ways to get stoned. I'm very grateful for that. Thanks JQR

Lexapro works really well for some. Plus it won't raise blood pressure.
