## Resource

I hope you enjoyed the overview of the SNRIs from the last episode. Today I continue with the SNRIs and go through each of the five individually and give you my classic what I like and don't like about each one. We will talk about venlafaxine (Effexor), duloxetine (Cymbalta), desvenlafaxine (Pristiq), milnacipran (Savella), and levomilnacipran (Fetzima). So if you aren't quite sure what is different about the drugs in the class, give this episode a listen and find out and also get a healthy dose of my opinions!
