Hi Basten60,

Thank you for posting on the forum, we hope that you will receive some replies soon to your question from our other members who may have experienced losing weight while on amitriptyline. Unfortunately we are unable to give out specific medical advice here. We would always suggest you go and see your GP who can check on why you are putting on weight and rule out any other causes. I have attached a link to information regarding amitriptyline and there is a small section on weight gain in the common questions section:
