Does Anybody Use Treatments That Don’t Cause Weight Gain?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am currently on Duloxetine 30mg. Was taking 60mg but recently decreased because I don’t like the side effects. I have gained 30 lbs since starting this medication about a year and a half ago. My Dr doesn’t seem to think it’s the medication, but I don’t know what else it would be. I am definitely not active anymore, which could also play a part, but that’s a lot of weight to gain in a year.
What treatments have you all tried that did not cause weight gain?

I agree the medication can cause weight gain. I use a high potency CBD isolate oil. It suppresses my appetite so I don’t eat as much. So it can cause weight loss.,. Also, I take Nucynta as needed when fibro id really bad...no wait gain from that, either. A lot of antidepressants can cause weight gain as a side effect.

my husband and I are doing keto, as I have noticed a difference in how I feel when doing this, and we loose weight. We have just gone back on as we have been off keto for a year now. Giving up sugar and flour really did make a difference for me.
