Unlikely: Duloxetine has a small chance of weight gain, but most people don't get it. If you do get it, rest assured that the medicine can be stopped, or a counteracting medicine can be prescribed.

If you are not comfortable or unsure about the medication your Doctor prescribed then it is advisable to get a second opinion from a Psychiatrist after you have had a complete physical exam by your Primary Care Physician to rule out any underlying illness. A Clinical Psychologist can also help you with psychotherapy.
