Yes, one of the potential side effects of amitriptyline use is weight gain. Amitriptyline, which is a tricyclic antidepressant, can affect metabolism and appetite, leading to weight gain in some people.
Not all patients taking amitriptyline experience weight gain, and the effects may vary depending on the individual body's response. If you notice significant weight gain while taking amitriptyline, it is worth talking to your doctor. He or she may consider adjusting the dose or switching to one that has a lower risk of causing weight gain. Additionally, a healthy diet and regular physical activity can help you manage your weight while using this medication.
