    I'm on lithium, Cymbalta, Vyvanse, and Yaz. Surprisingly, I think I got lucky because the lithium didn't cause me to gain weight at all; same with the Cymbalta and the Yaz (birth control).

    I'm on Cymbalta for Fibromyalsia and restless leg syndrome. I think it is making my weight loss very slow. It can be a little discouraging but without it my body aches constantly. If I try to amp up my workouts to offset it, it flares up the fibromyalia. Grrrr... I am just going to keep on pushing forwards and never give up.
