I too have a sister on Cymbalta and she has also gained weight. Interestingly, she didn't really gain much on SSRIs, but this SNRI has definitely caused a problem. She's still on it, but who knows.

It seems really hard to beat the twin towers of doom for effective antidepressants: weight gain and sexual dysfunction. They seem to affect many people. Then of course there's poop out.
