d try the safer version which is
Effexor. Basically, when the patent was up on the
Effexor and the generic of the medicine became available. Which means, the makers of Effexor wouldn't be raking in the $$$ on effexor anymore because venlafaxine, generic version would be available. The manufacturer of the company (I think it's Lilly) created Cymbalta, a half-fast replica of Effexor (just chemically tweeked a little).
