Default Anyone not gain weight on elavil? Is it the increase in calories/increased hunger?

that made you gain?

I hear all of the weight gain horror stories, and believe me, that is secondary of my concerns. I want to lessen or rid myself of my burning pain, so if Elavil can help, so be it. I will begin on a low dose of 10mg.

So is it weight gain because you eat more, because you don't exercise or exercise less? Or does it slow your metabolism? I hear alot of people say that they eat alot more or they are hungry for carbs, and in that case it wasn't the Elavil that made them gain weight, it was the increase in calories.

I was just wondering as it must depend on the person, as I haven't gained weight on Neurontin and I am at 1800mg.

Anyone not gain on Elavil and had a reduction in their nerve pain?

thank you
