Hi Dillydally

I put on weight with amitriptyline but if it helps with nerve pain what the heck. Xx

[dillydally1 in reply to Hidden]

yes your right. x

Yes, it did in my case I put on 5lb in a week as soon as I changed to the alternative nortrypyiline I lost the weight also I don't get the sleepynes like amitryptililne. In the beginning I did feel lethargic in the morning but it's wearing off. Hope this helps you katie xx

[dillydally1 in reply to Ktchard]

did the alternative still help your pain x

[Ktchard in reply to dillydally1]

Yes with the shooting pain but not the localised pain you can go up to 50mg of nortrypyiline for pain xx

[dillydally1 in reply to Hidden]

I am also on it and have found I have gained no weight I wish I could, I was given it to help me sleep as I suffer with chronic nerve pain.
