Elavil (Amitriptyline) side effects & weight gain Options

[tltrull]

I gained 25lbs in about 5 months. I havent gained anymore recently so I guess this is where I will stay unless my dose goes up. I noticed the weight gain really didnt start until I got up to 50mg, and really took off on 75mg.

If you gained, how much and in what length of time?

Did you lose some or all of the weight when you stopped taking it?

Ive also started to snore, which is odd since I have read that sometimes they prescribe it for snoring.

It is no longer helping me fall or stay asleep either...maybe I need a higher dose?

The only other thing I have noticed is some indigestion and a little reflux, and the breast enlargement(2+ sizes), but cant complain there. Wondering though if its that side effect or just the weight gain?

If I were to stop I hope I'd keep atleast a little weight(and boob lol) since I was so underweight to begin with.
