> I also was on elavil and wanted to get off due to weight gain. I am on elavil and doxepin hoping to reduce the cravings and weight gain but am finding the doxepin even worse for cravings than elavil! I might try trimipramine and see if that does away with the cravings.
Hey Bee...I'd be interested to know how you do with trimipramine. Why did you choose this drug? I have become interested in it, if for no other reason than it is weird for a tricyclic. It doesn't seem to do the things that have classically been thought of as necessary for a tricyclic to act as an antidepressant. It doesn't inhibit the reuptake of either norepinephrine or serotonin.
Good luck. Please post your experiences.
Thanks.
