Has anyone else had hair loss when takin amitriptyline?

My son is 17yrs and has been taking amitriptyline for a couple of years and I have recently noticed alot of hair in the shower drain. This leaves me extremely concerned since hair loss is a rare side effect so I will be calling his Dr. in the morning.

What about walking I know my lower back hurts when I work out I am trying to lose 10 pounds

Sheertarah; Sounds like you should talk with your doctor your not only getting rare side effects but also some of the most common ones that are not so easy to deal with. They have a lot of other medications that can do the same thing without all of these side effects you are having.
Have a good day and hope you are doing better very soon.

I think its a combination of the medicine and that virtually any exercise puts me in a flare, and changing my diet to be more ic strict has me eating more carbs

Did you gain from the meds or from the inter

I have taken Amitriptyline for years and a certain amount of weight gain is normal when first starting out on Amitriptyline but that stops and with exercise you will be able to get it off again.
I have never experienced hair loss but I do see that it is listed as a rare side effect.
You may want to talk to your doctor and see if there is something else that you could take instead if these side effects are not something you want to deal with.
Take care of you
