Hi, I have been taking Cymbalta for about 11 yrs now…really helps with bone/joint/tissue pain! I do did take Paxil 20mg years back, which the Dr. Started me on 1 wk after I had a bilateral mastectomy due to breast ca+. Of COURSE I believe ANY one of us would likely cry, going through all of that, right?! Doesn’t mean you’re depressed…just saddened! BUT…the one thing that it did do, was to make me want to eat like a horse!! I never seemed to get full & always was stuffing my face! Even when I tried diets or eating healthy, no difference. I ended up getting a gastric lap band put in finally, and after loosing 128 pounds, all is well. Paxil made me really want to “chow down.” Doctors had told me, “oh no! Those meds don’t do THAT to you! I disagree…they DO. 🤗🥺
