[Iwant150]

I have been on cymbalta for about a year and a half. I took phen for 4 months last year and lost 33 pounds. I gained back 5 and now am trying phen again to lose the last 15 I wanted to get rid of. Anyway, I was on Paxil and gained 55 pounds in 6 months. I went on effexor-xr and it didn't work that well for me. The cymbalta has been the best for me and with the phen I think it is similar to the phen-pro combination. My doctor told me that cymbalta doesn't affect the seratonin levels the way the others did and that I shouldn't have the weight gain on it...I haven't but then again, I was on phen 1/2 the time. There are so many kinds of these drugs out there, I would talk to your doctor and try different ones until you find what is right for you.

Good Luck!
