I begged my doctor for it. She refer me to rheumatologists and she told me until I see a rheumatologists and for a temporary pain relief, she can write me a prescription for a **Amitriptylene** medications. I have been taking this medication for only 5 days. It gives me dry mouth and high cravings for food. 2 hours after I took this tablet, I crave for food really bad. For the last 6 months I am on a strict diet ( counting calories) to loose weight for my knee joint. These last 5 days I have been eating like crazy. I can tell that soon after taking the medication I crave for food and I couldnt stop eating. I am really worried about my weight. Should I stop taking this medication and lie to my doctor that I have been taking this medication and work good? or, should I just tell her that I stop taking medication due to cravings? I know 5 days is too short to determine. But I know for sure that this tablet is increasing my cravings. I am positive about it. Please give me some positive suggestion.
