Oh, yeah. I was on Elavil (a brand of amitryptilin) and I swear there were times when I was tempted to just open a box of sugar and eat it. You've been caught by the infamous Elavil sweet tooth:

Quote:

Question: Why does Elavil cause patients to have a Sweet Tooth? It also causes weight gain? use. Why is that? What part of its composition does this?
Answer: It seems to have some effect on the "hunger center" in the brain, exactly what it is isn't clear;but, appears to center around serotonin.

From: web page

I don't have any advice about that. The behavior mod routine I'm following might help you in overcoming that mad urge to eat every single piece of chocolate manufactured in the world - or at least keep the eating to restricted times and places. You might also talk to your doctor and see if he can offer any help.

Good luck with this. And welcome to the Boards.
