amitriptyline dosages::The problem is that i am gaining weight at a rapid pace.
In fact, i started exercising more.
I called and asked the doctor how to go about weaning off and was basically ignored.
She shrugged off my concern about the weight gain and just told me to try not to eat too much and keep exercising!
Has anyone weaned themselves off of amitriptyline successfully?
I have both 10mg and 25mg tablets.
