ok my diet is the same, nothing's changed. i'm trying to LOSE weight but it's a battle like never before... finally last week i dropped 4lbs!! yay! but how come my pants are still getting tighter? and then all in ONE day i gained the 4lbs back??? what the...?!
the next day i was 2 lbs lighter... still, i can't zip up majority of my pants!! i'm NOT about to go out and buy a whole other line of clothing cuz i DO NOT wanna spend $$$!!!
so i gotta LOSE 10lbs! of course with out starving myself.
i'm starting to wonder if this weight and bloating is a side effect of the cymbalta? anyone else have this issue? how can i get the bloating down?? is there anything i CAN do?
another side effect i noticed that IS from the cymbalta is constipation. i no longer have the "URGE" ... sometimes i just sit on the toilet to pee and then realize that i'm crappin... but although it's pretty soft, why must i still have to push?? then there's days where it is liquid and just falls out and i didn't even know i had to go (like when i was at the beach yesterday, good thing there was a bathroom there!).
anyways... input please!

HAS BEEN WORKING & THE INCOURAGEMENT OF "FLUFFF"
I've heard from others that what I experienced is common - probably it's what you're experiencing as well - just with a different "bodily function."
I hope it passes - it was freaking me out - and I wasn't sorry to stop the drug. This is one of those things where you have to weigh the benefit against the side effects, and that's a very personal choice.
Hope it works out for you - some side effects do pass with time.
