Re: [QUAD-L] Hi Lori, one question

[Lori Michaelson]

I check email daily but had company for 2 days.

In 1997 I went down to 25mgs from my 50 at bedtime with no problem. I went back up when the
breakthrough pain began in 1999 or so. 

Our bodies change. I hate it! I wonder how peri-menopause and menopause will affect me. Oh help!

Everyone says that it is causes huge weight gain. Guess I was/am lucky in THAT respect.

Hi,

I remember you saying you were on 50mg amytriptyline for a few years. Did this medication make you gain weight over time? Im on 50mg and notice a slight weight increase Im just trying to be proactive because weight gain is no fun for us. You are a strong woman to have rolled on for 25 yrs thus far. I often wonder if I can make it that long.


 Thanks,

Hi Ron,
Even though your question was directed to Lori I thought I'd give you my 
experience with it. I went from 117 to 175 in a yr without changing eating 
habits. It effected my memory too.
