Losing weight fast on duloxetine/cymbalta?

I'm on duloxetine (120mg/day), not a high dose, but I'm not losing any weight. I'm not sure if it's a metabolic thing or what.

Hi
I've been on duloxetine 60 mg for about 6 months and haven't noticed any weight loss. I actually gained 10 pounds

Hi - same thing happened to me. My orthopedic doctor prescribed Cymbalta for my knee pain due to osteoarthritis. In the first two weeks I lost nine pounds. I started at 262 lbs and now I'm at 248. Started the medication in mid July 2020. I'm still loosing and it frightened me in the beginning. So rest assured... you're not alone.

Yes I also loss a lot of weight I was 155 now I’m 127 , and I have no appetite. Food & drinks I loved I have no taste for them now. And when I do eat it’s just a bite of this & that. I have nerve damage in my spine from shingles & nerve damage in my foot from surgery

I have lived with fibromyalgia for 35 years. Most drugs make the muscle pain worse and disturb my GI tract. Could not tolerate Gabapentin, Cymbalta or Savella. Just curious to know how they help you and how you measure the improvement.

I have been on Cymbalta for a few months now. I'm not sure if my weight loss started before or after I started taking it. I take 30mg is the morning and 60mg at night. My Dr will let me up the morning on to 60mg. I'm taking it for nerve pain with the weight loss bonus. Do you think if I up the morning one, I could lose weight faster?

I was on Cymbalta years ago and gained weight quite quickly, though I cannot remember what dose I was on back then.

I have now been back on it for about 3weeks, just 30mg at the moment, but I am due to increase it to 60mg with the possibility of further increasing if I am still not seeing the desired results. For now I have neither lost nor gained any weight on the 30mg, and I also haven't noticed any other perks of the medication yet so I guess I do need to increase the dosage and see what happens then :)

I wish I would lose weight. I gained 10 pounds and can’t get it off. I’m on 30mg daily. Maybe I need to increase.

I had the gastric bypass and having a lot of pain everywhere and on 120 mg of cymbalta.

I was on this drug awhile back. I initially lost a few but then gained 40 lbs in 6 months! Still haven’t lost it all. It helped my IBS but wow that was ridiculous. I weaned off if it.

I have been taking 30mg of Cymbalta daily for Depression and I unintentionally lost about 25lb in two months.

I take 60mg cymbalta daily, I lost a small amount of weight, 4kg, at first it helps me not to binge. I suppose it's the antidepressant.
It doesn't help with my pain, though!

Also, I take SR tramadol and meloxicam, aspirin , lasix and endone when needed for fibro and migraines. I had all this and more before I started the cymbalta . (My GP knows about interactions ie. Potentially seratonin syndrome)
I do feel much better generally and am even taking an interest in my plants and craft again.
I never lost my love of cooking, lol, though it can be a challenge to omit gluten, corn, soy and nuts.

Almost exact same weights as you. I am 19 and 5'6'' and when I started Cymbalta I was around 150-145 lbs, after a few months of taking it, I am around 128 lbs. I am only taking 30mg of Cymbalta, a comparatively low dose, but I also take it in combination with ADHD stimulant meds, 40mg Vyvanse and 10mg Adderall. I LOVE this medication! It has helped my anxiety and depression so much, also the weight loss is such a perk :) I feel so great! My moods are fantastic and I get weight loss compliments all the time! However, I would be concerned if it gets excessive. My appetite has significantly decreased, and I have to take extra care to make myself eat enough and get all the nutrients my body needs.

I have Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis. I had tried various meds given to me by my Rheumatologist. It was my Internal Medicine Dr. who prescribed Cymbalta. I've been on it for 14 months now. I have lost 122 lbs and still am losing weight. However, I have never felt better in all my life! My body feels available to do what I previously did on a daily basis. After being bed ridden for close to 4 years, this is a change I am forever grateful! Cymbalta is worth the few side effects. Cymbalta is not only an antidepresant, it is a pain reliever and frankly, for me, a miracle!

I've been on cymbalta 30mg for a month and have lost a stone (14lbs) so far. Not complaining as I do need to lose some weight.
However, on top of a non existent appetite I have had almost constant diarrhea and nausea. My doctor keeps telling me it'll get better and to let the drug settle. Even imodium isn't too helpful, it gives me maybe a 2 hour break from the runs? Will keep going and see if it settles! :)
