Hello, I have a bit of blood in my urine, and I'm currently taking penicillin. It's also listed as a side effect. Is this a problem? Can I still continue with the treatment? Best regards.
I'm just asking myself a question. I got a diagnosis from the hospital and it's questionable because I think I should get new medication and the doctor says no, it will stay the same as it is. Is it possible that I might get a medication that contains two active ingredients? Instead of taking two…
Amitriptylin is a medicinal product from the group of tricyclic antidepressants, which is approved for the treatment of depression, chronic pain and bedding of adults.
Like all antidepressants, amitriptylin can also have numerous side effects. A weight increase is a very common side effect. It is very common that more than 10% of all consumers are affected by this side effect.
In addition, it is necessary to mention what is defined in medicine as a “weight increase”. Weight gain (in this context) is an increase in body weight due to the medication of over 7% to the initial weight.

Just try it. If you should increase or set another unpleasant side effect, you can put it back (not suddenly, but gradually. Then ask your doctor best).
All the best
The amitryptylin antagonizes acetylcholine and therefore increases dopamine because dopamine and acetylcholine are simultaneously discharged.
The dopamine increases appetite according to E=mc2.

Amitryptilin inhibits growth, even by increasing it.
Oh! Thanks for the info. But can it also be that it slows down metabolism? That’s what I heard.
Are you happy with my work?
That’s how I can’t judge it on the basis of my knowledge.
This is also interesting, but rather relevant to people in the growth phase, right? 🤔
I only know this as an antidepressant, and I have definitely increased it. However, I also have a disturbed eating behavior.
This antidepressant reduces your basic turnover and increases your appetite. If you notice this, you don’t change your weight.
