mrsD, I'd have to agree with you on that. I'm starting to question him. I should've absolutely done my homework on it before I took it, but I was so out of it that the most we did was empty out 2/3 of the contents. Still, it's no excuse and I will not make the same mistake again.

Are there similar medications out there that don't affect the cardiovascular system like Cymbalta does?

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.

I'll keep that in mind when I go back to see him for my (VERY late) test results this coming week.
