In reply to Anafranil/Clomipramine weight gain?, posted by TheOutsider on October 22, 2004, at 6:46:01
Clomipramine, amitriptyline and various other TCAs are notorious for causing increased appetite and weight gain. This may be due to several factors: anti-histamine action of clomipramine may possibly increase appetite, blocking certain serotonin receptors may also increase appetite, and finally, if the clomipramine is causing sedation this may lead to reduced activity levels and subsequent weight gain.
All the best..
