Prozac (fluoxetine) lasts longer: Prozac primarily blocks serotonin reuptake. Cymbalta (duloxetine) blocks norepinephrine serotonin reuptake.
Serotonin. A serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) is a type of drug which acts as a reuptake inhibitor of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT) by blocking the action of the serotonin transporter (SERT).
A SSRI is a drug that blocks the reuptake of serotonin on the pre-synaptic neuron. This causes an increase in the amount of serotonin in the
Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are antidepressant medications that block the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors block the reuptake of serotonin, changing the level of serotonin in the brain. A serotonin balance is reached between

Venlafaxine, an antidepressant belongs to Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRI), blocks the synaptic reuptake of serotonin in lower doses and also blocks reuptake of norepinephrine in higher doses.

Cymbalta blocks the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine in the neuronal synapse, while Lexapro blocks serotonin reuptake only.
