are cymbalta and celexa the same?
Celexa and Cymbalta are not the same type of antidepressant (they do not have the same mechanism of action). Celexa belongs to a drug class called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and Cymbalta belongs to a drug class called selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).
