Re: Cymbalta & weight loss

[Guest guest]

While I've not lost a significant amount of weight, I have lost a

bit. The Cymbalta seems to have nipped my appetite in the bud. I

get nauseated if I eat too much and I even forget to eat sometimes.

I can't remember the last time I felt hungry. I guess it's just a

side effect.

cymbalta did the same thing for me when I was on it about a year ago. I had to

be off of it for a while and gained the wieght back (yuck) I had tons of energey

and felt great most days. I'm back on it now and think that it is going to do

the samething but I'm also on meds that have the opiset effect so I think that

once I top out on the does it should work.

My husband suggested I tell the doctor,which I will, but I don't want

to go off it because it has helped me tremendously with pain and energy

level.

Thanx for reading my post and I hope someone can tell me if they have

experienced the same thing.

Happy New Year to all of you.

I'm so jealous, Jerilyn. I wish it did that for me. I don't think you need

to worry, just try to increase your calorie intake. Eat dessert and enjoy!

Send those extra energy vibes my way.

I definatley dont't wanna get any skinnier. My husband suggested I tell the

doctor,which I will, but I don't want to go off it because it has helped me

tremendously with pain and energy level. Thanx for reading my post and I

I wish I was losing weight from the Cymbalta! I don't have as much appetite as I

used to but I think alot of my not losing weight is the fact that my feet and

lower legs are always swollen(2plus pitting edema)for yu medical peeps, I am on

diuretic Hctz but not working enough.Doc asked me if I want to go on

Lasix(stronger diuretic)with many more side effects. I said no for this time. I

don't want to be like my 80 year old patients and also have job on the road.

That is alot of stops to Mckee Dees and BK 4 bathroom breaks .LOL luv ya all and

gentle hugs! Jodi M.
