InHisHands,

I also was on Ami for a while. This medication caused me to start gaining weight right for the start - plus the sleep wasn't that much improved. They increased the Ami until I was taking 100 mg. That dose helped me sleep. However, by that time I had gained almost 30 pounds. I told the doctor that 30 lbs was enough. He readily prescribed Trazodone at that time.

Trazodone works well for me and I've lost the 30 pounds plus a few more since switching. In my experience, Trazodone is much better. Your experience may differ, but you do have another option available.

Best of luck,
