I have not taken this yet and it has been prescribed if my peripheral neuropathy does not improve with the Lyrica, my hands are the worse with osteo in them as well.. I have gained 14 pounds and went from a 36 to a 38 in 6 weeks....How have you found taking amitriptyline and have you gained any or much weight? ## Both of these medications carry the risk of causing weight gain, according to NIH reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and mood changes. How long have you been taking the Lyrica?

Is there any medication to counteract weight gain on amitriptyline. ## In my opinion choosing another medication to counteract another medication is not a good idea, due to the increase risk of side effects from each medication and possible contraindications between one another. I believe the most logical option for your health and weight loss is to do it with proper exercise and diet on a daily basis. Combining lots of fruits and vegetables with clean protein sources will help you loss any weight you may have gained in a timely fashion. Even if that isn't an affordable option, the fruits and veggies alone will do you plenty of justice in the weight loss category. Feel free to post back if you have any questions about this.
