Real Comments on Cymbalta Weightgain

I have studies some forums about the weight gain with the use of this drug as anti-depressant. I have come to know from this study that there are many people complaining this problem on using this drug. For some details I like to give few comments of some real users of this drug which are following:

• I had used this drug for few months and it depressed me more than before. It is due to weight gain of my body due to this drug. In start it was fine and I got a greater relief from depression but gradually with the passage of time I got some weight and it continuously increased up to 25 lbs in six months. I think it is the side worse side effect of this drug which hit me in worse form. After consulting my doctor I have reached the result that I should withdraw this drug any more.
• Cymbalta is the best thing which I have ever tried in my life for the treatment of depression. It gives me great relief and comfort. No doubt in start I have to face some side effects; but with the passage of time those all side effects vanished and I become fully contended with cymbalta. Cymbalta weight gain is no issue for me because I do not feel any change in my body weight with the use of this drug. It is important to note that I do not take any care of my diet and exercise. It looks strange for me to read that some people say that there is a rapid weight gain due to this drug.
• I have used cymbalta for more than two years. I have got some weight in my body but I think it is not due to the use of this drug. It is due to the eating habits and the life style I live. I eat early thing and eat more than my appetite. Moreover, I never think about the gym exercise however some times i go for a walk in the evening times whenever I got some time for this.
• Cymbalta has helped me more than anything. It almost saves my life because I have been suffering with depression attack from last 7 years and during these seven years, a lot of time I think about suicide and few times I have also attempted it. But my good luck saved me in all these attempts. After shifting to this drug, my life is totally changed and I experience entirely new feelings in me. In regard to the Cymbalta weight gian, it is very small thing against the relief of depression.

Taking in view the above comments of different users; I come to realize that weight gain is not the actual problem created by this drug. It normally occurs due to eating habits and some other medicine interactions. So the users of this drug are safe and can use this drug for the treatment of their depressant disorders without any fear of gaining weight. Moreover, the percentage of gaining weight is only one percent which is very low and insignificant as compared to it's benefits.
