I am allergic to it as it is an SSRI medication and I cannot take that or Lyrica and any other medication that is SSRI category whatsoever. I had every side effect there was and ended up in the hospital because of it.

Very much so, in my case. It sets off chocolate and sweet cravings like mad. I gained quite a bit of weight on it and absolutely hated the "hangover effect" that it gave me. It didn't do what it was supposed to.

I know people who take it and yes, like Lyrica it has put weight on them.

If you ever have any other strange side effects from Cymbalta, I'm certainly here to talk. I had so many strange side effects, some weren't even listed. I'm on Lyrica now, still with some side effects but less fatigued.
