it appears to be another medication that does what cymbalta does and effexor.
all affect the neurotransmitters seratonin and norepinephrine. No effexor may not have the FDA indication for fibromyalgia but should work. Cymbalta is for both depression and pain. It looks like this medication actually went for fibromyalgia as it's FDA indication and they are trying to make that look like it makes a difference. Though theoretically, all should do the same thing but in clinical practice, one may work better for a person than another just because we are all aren't identical entities. It will definitely be more expensive than effexor which is available as a generic and probably more expensive than cymbalta which has been out for awhile and if it can work for you will be closer to a less expensive generic coming out.
