> Effexor did not work for me. I did not go up to a high dose however. Is it a good idea to try Cymbalta anyway? If not, should I opt for Nortriptylene, Paxil, or Pramipexole?

It's a different drug, more noradrenergic and generally more tolerable than Effexor - judging from the early reviews here. There have been reports of people who have not had success with Effexor but who are finding success with Cymbalta. I'll let the board know if I am one of them or not. I guess the only way you'll know for sure about yourself is if you try it.
I'll let some of the others here speak to the other medications you've mentioned as I don't know what your issues are or what you're looking for the medication to do for you. Also I'm quite biased because I had trouble tolerating Nortriptyline and I had no success at all with Paxil.
