I can't lose weight after starting amitriptyline - i went from 45kg to 61kg in 3 months.

Can’t lose weight: Do the DASH. Works e dry time. Use app Cronometer To track calories every meal. When you have reached 2,000 for the day stop eating. Works every time. My record patient has lost 140 Lbs. You can too. Good luck. You will likely drop 10 lbs in 2 weeks. Give it a try. All you have to lose is your weight!
