Weight gain with Cymbalta

I am on cymbalta and have gained weight. Any suggestions on what to do?

Please, all antidepressants cause weight gain- some doctors give you a bullshit answer like you may or may not gain weight- that is only to soothe you and get you out of the office. All antidepressants cause weight gain- period. Initially, with some antidepressants you may lose some weight, but with time, you will DEFINITELY gain weight.

The only solution to preventing weight gain is eating less and walking more. There is no other magic bullet to preventing weight gain with these drugs. I want you to understand that it is not the doctor’s fault that these drugs cause weight gain-that is the nature of these drugs. They do reverse depression in most cases, but they also have unpleasant side effects including weight gain.
