Has anyone had bloating in the stomach as well as swelling around the hip and lower back area from coming off Cymbalta? I am having a hard time fitting into my jeans and am craving sweets.

Thank you so much for your relpy. I don't feel so alone or pumpkinish! How does your hypothalamus make you gain wait and is a side of Cymbalta withdrawl your hypothalamus becoming imbalanced?
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

- I have been on Zoloft for 6mon. and Cymbalta for almost 1 year. I want to get off Cymbalta the Dr. put me on it for my panic attacks wouldn't stop happening, so the Dr. put me on Zoloft I had bad!!! Side effects on Zoloft, so the Dr. switched me to Cymbalta I haven't had any bad panic attacks since I have been on the drug just maybe 2 or 3 since it's going on 1 year already, to make the long story short! I want off of this meds I have noooo feeling or emotion...only usually during my menestrual cycle and that's usually when my panic and anxiety erupts. Anyway, I want off this med's and back to the life that i use to have a fun life not having to worry when to take a pill, or if i'm gong to have a next panic attack. I only hope and pray to God. once off this drug I wont go back to myself when I had bad panic attacks! what do you think?? do you think once off this drug i will have them again?? Anyway, I want my life back basicly....... Cecile

madtabby,
I gained weight when I got on Cymbalta, and Lyrica 35 pounds!!! and I never even ate a thing!
I had no hunger pangs, so would have to force myself to eat just to stay alive.
Then when I started the decreasing I wanted nothing but sweets, plus I didn't, don't have the
energy to do anything at all, so I eat TV dinners, when I do eat. It really fouled up my entire
system.
There is no way I could have put on that weight in the 2 months I did. These drugs do something
to the metabloism. I know there are other psych drugs that pack on the pounds too!!! I used to
see my patients blow up like ballons in just a few weeks when I was working psych, now it me!
I am starting to drop the weigh now, but I am also eating horrible. I just don't have the energy,
or motivation to make myself anything, or even go to the store!
