Rapid weight gain while tapering off of Cymbalta (duloxetine). Has anyone else experienced this?
I have been on duloxetine for about a year for depression and anxiety. While it has been somewhat effective in treating those, it wasn't effective enough to justify sticking with it given the side effects I was experiencing--mainly fatigue and headaches. My psychiatrist developed a plan for me to... read more
Dexamethasone and weight gain?
My 14 year olddaughter was on dexamethasone for almost 2 years for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Had to be stopped early due to stress fracture in knee and the onset of avascular necrosis.

Good antidepressant to take alongside lamotrigine?
About to start on lamotrigine for my Bipolar Disorder (I had previously been on Depakote however I gained dangerous levels of weight).

Safe with low dose Seroquel if keeping track on weight?
Hi! New to this... I am 1-2 times per week taking Seroquel for sleep, dosage 25-50 mg. Works fine for me. I used to take the same amount with Olanzapine but found the drowziness and apetite increase to be much tougher for that compared to Seroquel. Would you say it is "safe" to use Seroquel as I do... read more
Saxenda - Is 3mg dosage really mandatory or is it OK to keep the dosage lower?
I'm starting to use Saxenda and I am still in the first week. Already my appetite is more or less gone and starting to loose weight. The problem is the price I need to pay for 5 pens (1 month while using 3mg). When using 3mg I'll need to pay 15% of my salary to Saxenda which is not acceptable... read more

Does anyone else have weight gain and eczema with propranolol?
I was prescribed propranolol to use when I have elevated anxiety, rather than using a benzodiazepine, during the initial start up with Lexapro. I have used propranolol in the past too, even if I wasn't using an SSRI. I am naturally very slim and haven't had a weight problem ever before. But I do... read more

What if you are taking Wellbutrin for anxiety? Does that affect using Contrave for weight loss?

Cymbalta causing my weight gain?
About a year ago I started with antidepressants. I tried a couple different ones to get to one I felt best with. That was Cymbalta. I’ve had two kids ages 3&2. I had finally got back to my pre-pregnancy weight with my first child after having my second. Then I started taking Cymbalta and gained 3... read more
Lexapro - weight gain due to appetite increase, or medicine in general?
Hello! Day 7 of Lexapro. Started with 5mg and now today I am on 10mg continuously. My question is more geared towards anyone's experience with weight gain. Would you say it's because your appetite is coming back? Or the medicine in general causes weight gain? Any input appreciated!
