I have been using amitriptyline for about two weeks now. It was prescribed to me for anxiety and insomnia. So far I have had no problems with the drug, but I have read up on the symptoms and weight gain was one of them. I was just wondering, how common is weight gain with this drug and why does it cause weight gain to begin with?

Can amitriptyline or lortab make you gain weight?
July 1st, 2010 Dr. Consultation 
I have been trying to lose a few pounds and I have been gaining 2-3 pounds a week. I eat about 1600 calories a day and no more than 35-40g of fat a day. I exercise at least 20-30 a day. I take 125 of amitriptyline a day and also lortab everyday. Could the either of these make me gain weight ? I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong.
