DEAR SIR/MADAM
USUALLY WHEN EVER YOU TAKE TRICYCLIC ANTI DEPRESSANT GROUP OF DRUGS , IT IS ALWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH WEIGHT GAIN. AS YOU ARE COMPLAINING OF LOSS OF MEMORY, USUALLY YOU NEED TO DO SOME INVESTIGATIONS.
POSSIBLY SLEEP STUDIES, NERVE CONDUCTION STUDIES AND OTHER STUDIES, BETTER CONSULT A NEUROLOGIST RATHER THAN PSYCHIATRIST, I THINK IT WILL BE OF GREAT HELP.
