Hi, there. Here is a link to some information on amitriptyline that you might find helpful. It's hard to say what a good drug is for any particular person because we all react differently to different medications. One that I take that does not have weight gain as a side effect is Wellbutrin, but that may not be the best drug for you. You should talk this over with your doctor and see if you can come up with the right solution.
Thanks for writing in and I wish you the best.
