"ive been taking this for about 3 1/2 years. it works great for what i take it for. the only problem i have, which is a huge problem, is increased appetite and weight gain. i&#039;m actually gonna start a different medication for nerve pain. amitriptyline has helped but i&#039;m also battling obesity. this medication doesn&#039;t help at all in that area. im still young, mid 30s. so maybe i&#039;ll resume taking it when i&#039;m in my 60s or 70s. i wont care so much then about the weight gain.
