Anyone lost weight while on Duloxetine?

[Boozeless]

I started Duloxetine 9 months ago for my Fibromyalgia. Started on 30mg but increased to 60mg a month later. It took almost 4 months but eventually, it did start helping with my pain. It has however seemed to pile on the weight. I was about 12 stone when I started it but was horrified to see yesterday that I'm now 15 stone.

I started a new job 2 months ago which is quite strenuous & definitely using more energy than I was taking in so was hoping I'd lose some weight, but it keeps piling on. I'm considering coming off of the Duloxetine now but that can be a long process. I need to lose at least 3 stone. Is it going to be possible even while on this drug?

Hi Boozeless,

As of yesterday I was on 60mg duloxetine. I was taking it for a nerve damage. I haven't gained weight but I haven't lost either, now I didnt eat sweets, biscuits, chocolates, puddings etc for 2 months so you would think that would reflect on the scales but my weight barely budged. I've stopped taking them, they weren't helping with the pain, made me very constipated and I believe preventing me from losing weight. Xx
