Cymbalta weight gain side effect
Common Questions and Answers about Cymbalta weight gain side effect
cymbalta
Weight gain is one potential side effect of Cymbalta but it would also depend on your other medications and if they have this side effect as well. It would be worthwhile to speak to your psychiatrist about this and they could see how to adjust and/or change your medications as needed and also how this specific side effect could be addressed.
I sometimes think doctors don't tell you the real percentage of weight gain with a drug.
I was on cipralex for years and it didn't matter how much I worked out, weight loss was minimal. On a high carb diet and no excercise, I gained 40 or so lbs.
Everytime I go off of cipralex I lose weight. I don't care what they say, cipralex causes weight gain.
I was on mirtzapanine for a short while and I felt happy for once but together with the cipralex the 30 lbs came back within a month!
The paroxitine is an SSRI and the weight gain can be a side effect. I just looked on the web for a statistic and it said about 25 percent of people experience weight gain.
As with any medication, it should never be stopped suddenly. These medications need to be tapered down slowly so that you don't experience side effects. The best thing to do is to talk to your doctor as soon as you can and tell him/her that you have stopped taking it.
I suffer from OCD and have tried numerous serotonin meds, all of which I have had extreme side effects. My doctor put me on Cymbalta, but I have notices increased weight gain. I recently lost quite a bit of weight and no have put back on 15 lbs. She has suggested I try Luvox, but don't know if I should or not. I worked so hard to lose this weight and don't want to gain any more. I am at a loss of what decision to make.
I'm still new to cymbalta but not new to anti-depressants.
I've learned over the years that side effects are different for everyone and not to judge a medication based on that. Possible side effects doesn't mean one will get all of them (which is what I tended to focus on).
While being on Cymbalta, the one side effect I've noticed is insomnia. For the first little while I had nausea but that's gone away.
I have recently been prescribed Ativan for a social anxiety disorder but I am concerned that this medication will cause me to gain weight and seems to have much more side effects than Wellbutrin, so should I request to be changed to Wellbutrin which does not have as many side effects - mainly causing weight gain.
I had sweating with Effexor and Cymbalta. It's not just the discomfort; you don't want to add sweating if you already have oily skin - breakouts. I think Prozac caused it, but I'm not sure. I'm currently getting by with a very low dose of amitriptyline. Not a lot of sweating with it, but it can cause weight gain and constipation. I need to gain weight right now, so it's okay.
you should try cymbalta. it decreases your appetite and it helps with anxiety. i also take ativan. i love it. it's the only thing that helps me. but i hate the fact that it's addicting. i haven't gotten to that point. i take one about once a week. i use to take it twice a day. so i'm doing good. but definetly ask your doctor about cumbalta.
Yes it is true that Cymbalta helps with pain, it is often used to help people coming off strong painkillers, I don't know the full details though.
It sounds like you have been prescribed the anti depressants to help with the anxiety, as they treat both.
Hello there,
I read you are taking celebrex. Did you know that celebrex has been taken
off many drug store shelves. It is not a safe drug. Are you sure it's the
Lyrica that is causing your weight gain? If it's the Lyrica that is causing the
weight gain, maybe you should stop taking it, but talk to your doctor first.
Don't just stop taking Lyrica. Good luck to you.
t affect your norepinephrine level and will only affect your serotonin. Effexor is a cheaper SNRI that should gives you less side effect by preventing a norepinephrine withdrawal that might happen during the switch to Prozac.
Please consider that I'm not a doctor and this should be discussed with your doctor.
I think its possible it might take you a lil bit longer on the cymbalta but you should be able to lose those pounds.
I just got off Lexapro a month ago. Not easy. Lots of brain freezes. Had to do it cuz I gained 30lbs in 3 yrs, while working out 5 x per week. Doc says Cymbalta doesn't have the same side effect. Hmmm. Seem to read mixed reviews about that. Have lost, through exercise and calorie counting, 14 lbs in the past month. Feeling kind of sad and a bit anxious, however. Am trying a series of homeopathic products.
Did you ever try combining wellbutrin with the Celexa? Sometimes that's done to help with this. But we all react to drugs differently, so it's possible there's a drug out there that won't have this effect. If you want to do this without drugs, you'll need help from a professional. You can try a homeopathic physician or a naturopath, and start by reading a book called Natural Highs by Hyla Cass, a psychiatrist who uses natural medicine in her work.
