I would like to read you about weight changing with medication.
Did the numbers on the scale changed? Up or down?
I'm taking 30mg of Cymbalta and 20mg of Amitryptiline (Elavil) and I gained about 20 pounds.
I'm a bit upset because I had loose about 40 pounds before the diagnosis/medication. I feel like my hard work was reduce to nothing. I'm back on "My fitness Pal". I hope I will be able to loose some pounds.
I think it is both. I started taking a supplement MACA that I ordered off of amazon.com and it is helping with energy.
I gained about thirty pounds with elavil. I did sleep better though.
@A MyFibroTeam Member I only drink water, cooffee and tea too.
I eat small portions. My snacks are fruits.
I have a sweet tooth, but I don't eat chocolates and candies a lot.
I Will continue to check my calories intake.
I just can't stop using my meds.
What's causing it? Are we more hungry? Or is it causing a slowdown of our metabolism?
amytriptaline causes weight gain. I was told that by two psychiatrists so I stopped taking it and lost some weight
