Cymbalta

Anyone taking cymbalta I am curious what you think I have been on 30 mg for two days. Switched from Lexapro 10. For GAD. Any input appreciated.

Yes I took Cymbalta and it did help me emotionally but I really hate to tell you it made me gain weight and that I could not put up with good luck!

Kanobi,

I have no experience with this med personally but I am sure others on the board will swing in and post. Sometimes you have to wait a little while for responses especially since you posted on the weekend.

I took cymbalta for a few months, and actually lost weight...maybe about 5-7 pounds.  It totally killed my appetite, so I don't see how I could have gained weight from it.  At the beginning, it made me really nauseaus and tired.  Then, as my body got used to it, I started to get a lot of "nervous" energy from it.  My dr. said we could switch from the 60mg back to the 30mg and that might do the trick, but in the end we decided to go back to zoloft.  I was happy with the cymbalta, though, and would go back on it again, if the z doesn't help.
