I wish I knew more about that too. I am convinced that the gut and digestion play a role in my weight gain. From Effexor to Lamictal to Topomax (had the counting error on that one) and now Cymbalta. Since Cymbalta I play and up and down game of about 6lbs a week but have not gained any more. Despite all my health eating (except my weekend binge) I have also not started losing and my stomach continues to swell and stay bloated and large. (All those and's!)
I really think that I simply don't metabolise my AD correctly, whether it is in my gut or liver, I don't know. I think as long as I stay on them (which I am told is for life), I will always fight this sometimes losing battle with weight.
Maybe somebody could invent a "Gut Serotonin non-inhibitor" to be taken alongside the AD.
