Gained 20lbs in 3 months from 50mg of nortriptilyne. i was told by my doctor to discontinue the medicine. how soon will i loose the weight i put on?

Depends: This entirely depends on how much you lower your calorie intake and increase your exercise. The anti-depressant itself did not cause you to gain weight. Perhaps you felt more like eating when on the medicine and your calorie intake went up.
