"worked great on the anxiety. was terrible for weight gain. i gained 30 lbs in 3 months and this was the only change to my routine. i was not eating more or differently. i was doing more because my arthritis hurt less. so, as far as i am concerned it was the cymbalta.

so if feeling calmer and more able to handle stressful events is worth the extra weight, then this is a good pill.

for me, the extra 30 lbs was not ok, and it is a new experience for me. i have never had a weight gain problem before."
