Fachad-
I don't think that I've gained weight on the trimipramine, but (see previous posts, I think on this thread), I have gained weight sine I went off Topomax.
The Depakote that I take does contribute to weight gain, even though I only take 250mg/day. But I think that that is a permanent med for me- in the past when I've experimented with going off it entirely I have had relapses into terrible moods- getting up on the wrong side of bed style.
I also take Lamictal which for some people seems to cause weight gain. Again, I'm not sure if that's true for me- I don't think so.
I'm hoping that over time the Thyroid will change my metabolism. I've always had to fight with my weight- never a skinny person.
Thanks for the info about the Ambien. I'm actually falling asleep fine these days, but will keep the info in mind. Also, I'm trying to simplify my med regime as much as possible, so hate to think of adding yet another pill. I'm already running my own little pharmacy here and it's a lot of work.
