Hello,
Cymbalta can cause weight gain, but it should help with anxiety and depression. If it is not then you may need to add another medication or change to another medication. If your fibro doctor is not comfortable with making these changes then I suggest you see a psychiatrist. They are the specialists in using these medicines.
