Thank you for your responses.  Side effects are a real drag but I will speak to my doctor about this and see what we can do.  I appreciate that you took the time to answer my question :)

Side effects suck.

If it is definitely something that started just after taking this med, and you know it's related... talk to the doc.

You'll have to decide (together) if it's an acceptable side effect and/or if there is something that can help offset it or another med that may be better if it's not acceptable.

I got off Depakote for weight gain myself. Definitely worth a chat with the dr!

   Weight gain is one potential side effect of Cymbalta but it would also depend on your other medications and if they have this side effect as well. It would be worthwhile to speak to your psychiatrist about this and they could see how to adjust and/or change your medications as needed and also how this specific side effect could be addressed.
