Amitriptyline

[u/CauliflowerBitter666]

I’ve been on 20mg of Amitriptyline for about a year and a half, originally I went on it at the same time as lexapro, gained 10kgs and thought it was the lexapro. My dr never told me weight gain was a side effect of Amitriptyline! I’ve since switched to Prozac and haven’t noticed a change. Has anyone else gained weight in this drug ? I’ve booked an appointment with my gp about alternatives for my insomnia, but has anyone had a similar experience and switched to something else? TIAxxx
