cymbalta was not good for me and withdrawal was horrible. I was on it for 6 months and has taken me another 6 months to begin to feel normal. The weight is because cymbalta usually causes you to crave sugar. Eat protein with every meal and you will see a decrease in cravings if you have had them. Most people have cravings with cymbalta are those that gain weight. I didn't until the last three months. More so when I started tapering off. The cravings were bad then. All I wanted during my taper was sweets. Not chocolate but candy. The is a website that can help if you need it. I will have to remember it since I changed computers and it was bookmarked on my old. It helped me get off cymbalta and lose the weight too. The protein suggestion came from the website. Something Radiance. Let me think about it. My neurologist says the problem with cymbalta is affects three different chemicals in the brain and most people don't need those three altered. She doesn't like it prescribed for that reason. It is one of the most tricky of AD's on the market as far as she is concerned. I had to see her because it caused me to have absence seizures. Which apparently is a side effects that happens often. She says ADs in general can do this often with cymbalta doing it more often. Funny that isn't in the literature the doctor gives you. anyway, you can lose the weight I did, just drink water and eat the protein and give yourself the same amount of time you had to gain it, don't try to do it too fast. It will come I lost mine. Cymbalta can affect the hormones and we all know what that can do make you gain too. Now that you are off everything will equalize. RK
