How to avoid weight gain ?! ?!


Question: How to avoid weight gain ?! ?
Hi, recently I've been given apo amitriptyline as a sleep aid. I know one of the side effects are weight gain. Now that's a problem for me because I'm pretty a fit 19 yr old male. I don't wanna let this hard work go to nothing. I go to the gym pretty much everyday and do cardio almost everyday as well. Will weight gain still be an issue for me ?

Answers:

No, there shouldnt be any problem. If your as active like u said, then there wont be any weight gain. Just keep eating right and work out all the time as u are. Keep your metabolism going you should be perfectly fine. Side effects can be weight gain doesnt mean it will, everyone is different and react differently with medications it all depends on your body. But your young & fit. So no shouldnt be a issue:)



as long as you cut back on your salt intake you'll be fine because the weight gain attributed to the intake of amitriptyline is because of edema or water retention so in effect, since you already have an active lifestyle just avoid eating/drinking stuff that may cause water retention (e.g. alcohol,energy drinks chock full of sodium etc.)

if your doing all of those things everyday... you probably wont gain weight. and if so, is the medicine really worth it? try another method at sleeping, like guided sleep videos or something...



yes,you should stop eating sugar,or reduce your sugar intake as much as possible.
