"i&#039;m 21. cymbalta works really well with depression. it made me happy. so happy i could lose my mind in myself and forget to do anything but eat and think. that&#039;s why i&#039;m giving it a 5. when i started taking it i lost about 4lbs.... then... tada! i gained 14lbs in 2 weeks. i got off the medicine right after this. i&#039;m not going to gain all my weight back to make myself more depressed in the future. watch out for this one if you&#039;re watching what you eat. i&#039;ve lost 7 of the 14, so at least i have that. but i&#039;m upset by the gain. i was on it for a month."
