effexor xr vs. cymbalta weight gain

Posted by tiggytig on November 7, 2005, at 22:13:15

I have been on Cymbalta for about 2 months and have experienced about 10 pounds of weight gain. This is the heaviest I've been since I gave birth 12 years ago. Nothing in my life has changed, diet or exercise. I told my md that this was somewhat counter productive to the benefits of Cymbalta, and he switched me to effexor. He told me to taper off of Cymbalta at 30 mg. a day, then take a week off, then begin the effexor. Has anyone had a similar experience? Is there less of a chance of weight gain with effexor? Can I switch meds sooner?

thanks,
tigs
