Has anyone taken cymbalta? did u gain weight? how did it effect ur moods?

i'm on Cymbalta, it helped with my depression and anxiety. Its most helpful effects for my BPD symptoms were that it allowed me to fully participate in DBT therapy and skills training. Before, I would frequently get too anxious or depressed to go to therapy, so I never made it all the way through a program.

Duloxetine normally has the other effect of actually switching off the hunger levels in the body unlike sertaline so you should be fine

Don't know about cymbalta, but don't try Zyprexa, I was on that for 9 years and gained 60 lbs!   Went off Aug last year and have lost almost 50 of  that....plus I felt like I was in a fog all the time...
