"my issue is anxiety.  i have tried effexor, lexapro, prozac, and finally cymbalta.  last month, i told my doctor i was done with these medications.  i was willing to live with the anxiety because the uncontrollable weight gain was making me depressed.  he listened and prescribed a very low dose of cymbalta.   thank you so much.  i feel so much better.  i am finally able to lose weight without trying.  before, i could not convince myself to even diet for one day. it was impossible. never an issue prior and now thankfully i have control over my eating.  i was always ambivalent about everything.  now things impact me within reason.  i don&#039;t obsess but i still care."
