I was on paxil, gabapentin, nortrypriline, and gained 80 pounds in a year. I have was put on cymbalta and lamictal about 5 months ago. For me that combo does seem to take edge off. Even though it was prescribed for my depression and anxiety. Thankfully no weight gain! I have actually lost 10 pounds. I made sure I asked for something that weight gain is NOT a side effect.

I to have weight gain, they give nortripline here in Nz, I don't take the gabapentin, I had vertigo for 2 weeks over the Xmas holidays continuously, that was so hard to deal with, then today for the 1st time I have woken this morning with joint body pain and extreme stabbing in my hands so frustrating!!!!!!!*

I think every body is different. Lyrica put 30 pounds on my and cymbalta put over 30 pounds on my sister.

I take cymbalta. It helps immensely with the pain and I've lost weight while on it.

I have gained 35 lbs during the first year of taking Cymblata. I did not gain one ounce while taking Gabapentin for 3 months.
