Anyone Who Has Tried Cymbalta, How Has It Affected Your Weight?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I just started Cymbalta and read that it may cause weight loss or gain. Has anyone lost weight on cymbalta? That would be nice! 😂

I took it for several years and did gain some weight. It caused me terrible brain fog. 3 years ago I switched to Savella which gave me back my brain and works much better for pain.

Nothing gets rid of all the pain. I find that weekly therapeutic massage helps. I also do trigger point injections into the knotted spasming muscles in my upper back monthly, which really helps!

Cymbalta didnt seem to effect my weight, but it did cause lots of pain. I got dizzy, not aware like i was drunk, brain zaps, and pther such. When i got off of it i was told i could just get off. The brain zaps got worse(they still havent gone away 6 months later), i could barely walk i crawled, i was off work for a week, and had such bad nerve pain. Im glad im off it but the brain zaps didnt go away and my sensitive skin got worse.

I noticed no change in weight either. I don' t feel that it really benefits me one way or the other. I have been on it for a few years and am going to see about going off as I don't see it making much if any difference. I could be mistaken, but I don't think so. I hope it helps you though. Everyone is different.

I started Cymbalta about a month ago. I have lost some weight.
Not positive if it's the Cymbalta but I'm not complaining.

Cymbalta does help to induce appetite and gain weight ! Also causes me bloating and can also increase your cholesterol that's why I take Omega 3 fish oil supplements , take care and warmest wishes 😁 🙋👤 👍👌 🇬🇧
