amitriptyline and weight gain::But symptoms have not changed dramatically.
Some good days and some grim days.
Neurotologist now suggests trying something else.
And has suggested amitriptyline.
Although what is wrong with vanity for goodness sake.
However, she claimed that they did not see this problem with patients and that most patients gaining 14lbs plus were on pizotifen or valproate.
And clinical reports suggest that weight gain is one of the highest side effects from this drug.
All things considered, i am very wary about amitriptyline.
I will discuss with my gp, but wondered if anybody had any experiences they could share?
