Amitryptiline and weight gain and how do I lose it help

[basten]

I'm on Amitryptiline and Agomelatine. My weight has ballooned also my bust has gone up two bra sizes. Has anyone managed to lose weight on this? If so please tell me how as I'm not eating that much. ?

I have been on this drug now for quite a long time and I have tried all sorts of things to loose weight, it cannot, I feel the problem is not only my own it is a real concern for everyone.

I am going through a tranche of medication withdrawal because of my age, I am not at this time losing weight although I am not increasing weight, I am getting on a bit now, 69 so I will just need to bide my time and hope I will start to loose weight again soon.

What you need to watch is, last year I came down with Diabetes 2, they say weight gain can be caused by increase of weight

Hi I'm 70. Yes it's a concern. My eyes get blurry too by p.m. have been checked but not diabetic but at this rate I soon could be. I'm over weight for my height 5' 2" . It helps me sleep that's the problem. I too am on other meds and meds for high blood pressure. Thanks Bob

Yes it eventually our age gets to us, I went for a long time, my eyes never really changed and all of a sudden I am under the hospital for tests every year and my eyes are checked every six months, they are really getting worse. Weight is a real problem.

However I am ok for driving with glasses etc

Yes me too I can drive with glasses but because of the cocktail of meds I'm the DVLA only renewed my licence for one year and it's due again in May so I have to tell the doc and psychiatrist I feel ok to drive. I dread losing my licence. I dont use the car much only to get around here.

Yes that is a problem, with been chronically disabled I need my car too get around so at the moment I understand there is nothing to stop me driving. My car has all the adaptations including Sonar and cameras etc, and it also checks out if the car needs any services. It is like driving a computer. I was lucky to be able to get the car fitted out it even reverses to park on its own. It is only a couple of points away from being able to drive itself

Ha ha my that is some car!!. I'm not disabled but am in awful pain when I eat due to oesophagitis and gastritis even though I have meds for it. I'm also on Zopiclone and Clonazepam and felt so I'll just missing one night of Zopiclone!! My psychiatrist blames my GP for keeping me on them way too long. Also my bust has grown huge since the drugs and so tight all around me when I eat. I'm a bit cheesed off at mo. Oh well that's life 🙄🙄
