I had good luck with Duloxatine/Cymbalta for mood and fibro pain. I lost some weight while I was taking it. On the downside it is a total libido killer. After years of using it I missed intimacy with my husband so I stopped the Duloxiatine. Within about 6 weeks my libido is back. So, anyway the positive help was excellent.

Are you on Lyrica or pregabalin(generic for Lyrica)? It causes weight gain

I take Venlefaxen(Effexor), it really helps me with pain relief as well as mild depression, and I’ve not gained a single pound, even lost a few. Been on it for years without any issues.

Am too sensitive. I can't take antidepressants. I tried Duloxetine and it made me so dizzy and tired that all I wanted to do was sleep. I tried amitriptyline and I started getting zaps in the head and I said I can't take this but maybe it will work for you but it's just doesn't work for me.
