I was talking to my therapist about mine and my mom's anxiety medicine. I'm taking Zoloft and she's taking Cymbalta. I was talking to my therapist about how my mom wants me to get out on what she's taking but my therapist was saying that it was a different class of drugs and that Cymbalta is an SNRI while Zoloft is a SSRI. She also said that there are more side effects coming off and getting out on SNRI's as opposed to SSRI's and I was just curious to know more about them.
