Does cymbalta cause increased weight gain

Question

i am currently taking cymbalta and i find i have gained a lot of weight could someone confirm if its the cymbalta or just weight gain.

i am looking into using alli diet pills but i don't want to use them if the weight is because of cymbalta....

Answer 1

Yes it can. My girlfriend started taking it about a year ago and has gained weight on it. I would say there is a good chance that it's the pills.

Answer 2

I've experienced weight gain on Cymbalta. I've been on 60mg for over a year.   I've also experienced a lot of unpleasant side effects.  Honestly,  I  am VERY glad to be off of Cymbalta.  Have you done any research on the medication? I was taking it for anxiety.
