Is it possible that after 5 days of using Amitriptylinum VP caused weight gain of 2kg and swelling under the eyes?

Tricyclic antidepressants, including amitriptyline, can significantly increase body weight – by up to 15-20 kg. Weight gain after antidepressants depends on body structure and age – asthenics (people with a frail, slender physique), usually do not notice it, and people prone to obesity can gain weight at low doses. It should be emphasized that the body's reaction to certain drugs is an individual feature and it cannot be unequivocally stated that it is Amitriptyline that is the cause of weight gain and swelling under the eyes. I encourage you to report an adverse reaction if you have not already done so: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane It is important to consult the doctor who prescribed Amitriptyline to discuss the side effects observed and see if they are due to the drug or other factors. Only a doctor will be able to assess your medical situation and decide on a possible change in pharmacotherapy.
