For the past year, I've been using Elavil, 10 mg at night. I started out with 5 mg the first month. Elavil only causes weight gain at high doses - 40 mg and up. The same goes for it altering your mood - it takes really high doses to work as an actual anti-depressant.

I haven't gained weight while on it (I'm around 115 lbs, 5'6"). I highly recommend Elavil for those with D and pain because, for me, it has really helped reduce the pain of IBS cramps, D, and it also helps me sleep.
