Hi there, I have been taking amitriptyline for about 3 months and found I was putting on weight so stopped it, back to not sleeping at night. My eating is going down , I am not hungry all the time like before so hope it willgo down. Did you stop taking the tablets gradually? Hope things go well for you.
