Been on Duloxetine two days and gained 2 kgs! Am very slim and certainly not eating more than usual...which is not much anyway. Looking at all the literature on this drug, rapid weight gain is not mentioned. Is it even possible, and what can I do, apart from complete starvation. Whatever, I hate it and tempted to stop the drug altogether though I know it would hardly be giving it a chance. I take it for chronic lower back pain...as a last resort from failed surgeries, stimulator, physio etc etc. Hope some of you will understand.

We are living in extraordinary times at the moment, and all sorts of things going on around us can affect us. I have put weight on during the lockdown, my son has lost weight. But we haven't changed what we eat, well, not too much! As I suggested in the other thread, keep in touch with your GP and give it a little while longer to settle down.
