all of these medications have a risk for these complications, there is no way around it.
What works for one person might not work the same for another.

I take Cymbalta. It supposedly does not have any weight or libido side effects. I say "supposedly" because it can’t be the same for everyone. I used to think it made me gain a few pounds and made me less interested in sex, so I went off of it for a few months. I didn’t lose weight and I didn’t get more interested in sex, I just got depressed again, so I went back on. So now I can’t blame Cymbalta for that. What I can blame is a lack of exercise : )

The point of taking these meds is to raise your mood over time. They are not meant to be taken for ever- ck with your M.D. to confirm. Since you need to get better, its best to take them and accept some modest side effects. And you can’t know for sure if there are side effects, until you go off the meds. So, just be positive, take them, do all the things your care giver suggests, and know that you are well cared for, and all you need to have a great life, is to go out there and grab for it. Good Luck.

They are all capable of causing those problems. They affect different people in different ways. They can even have a different effect on the same person at separate times in their life. It is best to just try one and if it has bad side effects, switch to an different medication.
