I didn't gain much weight on Imipramine/Tofranil. The only "TCA" I gained a lot of weight on was Ludiomil/Maprotiline, which is actually a "tetracyclic," not a tricyclic. Although I didn't gain much, if any, weight on Tofranil, I did have a puffier appearance than I did without it. My cheeks and eyelids were usually puffy due to edema, I believe. I looked a little bit like a chipmunk about to go into hibernation. Fortunately, that jowly look disappeared when I got off the drug.
