"i have been suffering with serious depression for the last year. i was on a different medication. i gained a lot of weight from eating without thinking(compulsive), and started to feel the social aniexty again. honestly i was very hesitant about starting cymbalta because i had read all the side effects, but i have had almost none. i drink lots of water all day long so that might have something to do with it. i got control of my appetite again."
