Effexor and Cymbalta are very similar in actions. They are pretty much interchangeable. Norepi and serotonin reuptake.

If you want a NEW type of intervention, Wellbutrin is the way to go.

There are several studies like this one on PubMed:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11706096

You can print this out and give to your doctor. This drug works for some people with neuropathic pain.

Changing you to Effexor is not a change of anything.
Of all the antidepressants out there, Wellbutrin has the lowest impact on sexual functioning.
