Cymbalta and Effexor are mixed acting antidepressants.
They are called SNRIs --serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. These have potential to stimulate the cardiovascular system and some people are very sensitive to that effect.
The SSRIs are single acting on serotonin only. Zoloft, Lexapro, Celexa (milder acting), and Prozac, are examples. I exclude Paxil, because it is really a poor drug..so forget it.
