| 4 | low backpain and could not sleep | I cannot trace any side effects to this Rx. | I have been taking 50mg for about 2 years at bedtime, I usually take it about 2 hours before I go to sleep, as soon as i get to bed I'm sleepy, no trouble waking up at 6 a.m. for work each day. They only drug that has been able to keep by back pain in check and keep me from turning over 10-20 times per night due to the back pain. I would recommend it. | 53 | 2 years | 3/15/2008 | 3 | neuropathic pain | I tried at bedtime and couldn't sleep at all. Then I started taking it in the daytime and had pain relief with Effexor added. terrible nightmares and sweating. Six months passed and I stopped sleeping again, after a month I stopped it and went back to Amitriptyline. | 52 | 6 months 50 mg 1X day | 10/16/2014 | 1 | pain | The first night I took it I barely slept. The next day I was tired all day and depressed. I was very sleepy. My m2outh was extremly dry. I think i will take half the dose and see if my body adjust. If it doesnt, I will quit taking it. | 62 | 1 days 25mg | 4/2/2013 | 1 | Back pain | I did face hell with it. Almost died. Fast heart beating, dizzyness, muscle weaknesses, horrible noise in the year. I am 8 days without it and still feeling very bad! | 55 | 2 months 30mg | 5/4/2017 | 5 | Pain killer | Mild constipation, increased appetite, mild weight gain | This pill is a miracle for me! After suffering debilitating abdominal pain after eating anything, and dropping down to 5 stone 7 in weight, my doc decided to try me on nortriptyline to help. And my oh my has it helped. I was weeks from death if my condition had carried on the way it was, and this pill took away almost all of my pain. I enjoyed food again with no crippling pain afterwards and am now at a comfortable 7 stone in weight and sleep great every night. It takes a good couple of months to get into your system and for any side effects to die down, but they do die down and it really is worth sticking with to see if it works for you. | F | 38 | 1 years 10mg 1X day | 10/16/2022 | 5 | Lumbar pain with Sciatic nerve pain | Very dry mouth, a bit shaky, some anxiety, loss of appetite | I started off on 10mg for 5 days and upped it to 20mg. With 20mg the first two weeks there was quite a bit of anxiety but it has settled to barely any now. I seem to have lost interest in food and that is okay. I am still eating but making healthy choices. Oh and another thing is about passing urine, I have to consciously think about it to trigger release. I think the worst thing is the dry mouth. Having mints (sugar free) helps. I am just about ready to increase to 30mg. I am slowly becoming pain free and am actually sleeping six hours straight with minimum pain | F | 50 | 4 weeks 20 1X day | 10/15/2012 | 5 | nerve pain | Terrible & disturbing nightmares, Heartburn, Decrease in urination (a plus for me), extreme hot flashes of the face and chest & an increased appetite.Had to stop taking even though it gave me back my ability to be active. | F | 50 | 3 weeks 20 MG | 4/25/2013 | 5 | Prevent migraines | This has been a miracle drug for me. Besides effectively preventing migraines (except for one that slips through only very occasionally), it also helps me fall asleep and decreases nerve pain in my lower back. I take 30 mlgrams at night. | F | 55 | 7 years | 11/25/2005 | 5 | Prevention of headaches; depression | Only side effects that I have noticed are all good. Seem to be a bit of a dry mouth, but I figure I need to be drinking more water anyhow. For years, I had a problem of severe gagging problem and upon taking this medicine that problem has vanished. | This medication was originally prescribed for me to prevent headaches. About a year ago, I suffered from a headache that would not go away. Doctors gave me this medication and after about a month of taking it I didn't have the headache anymore. I stopped taking the medication because it was very difficult to remember to take the medication. Then 2 weeks ago doctors doctors suggested this medication for depression after failed attempts of taking prozac (which made me extremely nauseous) and paxil (which made me light headed and dizziness which in turn made me nauseous). I would have to rate this a wonder drug for me because it took care of a chronic gagging problem in the mornings & I actually feel like doing things again. | F | 40 | 2 weeks | 10/27/2008 | 5 | Chronic Daily Headaches | For the first month I experienced an extremely dry mouth during the night; forgetfulness; loss of appetite | I was very happy with the results the headaches went away after the first 10 days and i now only have occasional mild headaches. | F | 15 | 6 months 50 MG 1X day | 6/2/2010 | 5 | Chronic Migraines | Dry mouth, drowsyness in the a.m., constipation, loss of appetite. | I have been taking Nortiptuline for about 6 months now every night. I suffer from severe migraines, averaging at about 10-11 a month.Ever since i started taking nortriptyline, i have seen a significant reduction of migraines, and when I do get them (which now I get about 5-6 a month) they don't last as long as they used to. I started with 10mgs, and slowly increased dose to 50 mgs. Every time I increased I noticed my mouth got REALLY dry, the smell of food grosses me out and I am extremely drowsy in the mornings. The side effect do seem to go away after time. I am extremely happy with the treatment and it has completely changed my life. | F | 27 | 6 months 50 MGs 1X day | 7/2/2010 | 5 | Migraines | Dry Mouth, decreased libido, sexual dysfunction | I am very pleased with this medication. I have only had 1 migraine in the last year. I don't love the sexual dysfunction portion but its a fair trade. | F | 26 | 1 years 50mg 1X day | 3/29/2011 | 5 | depression | dry mouth | saved my life for 26 years but now that I have lost weight. I am getting depressed again. Maybe I should adjust my level? | F | 50 | 26 years 125 MG 1X day | 8/30/2011 | 5 | No side effects | I love this medicinel. I take it for severe pain. If you take it at night you will sleep late the next morning, so I take mine in the middle of the day and can not tell I even take it. I take 25mg and I AM on the dose of 4 a day, which is 100mg a day. Does it help my back? Yes---It help my nerves ( which everyone knows) affects your back. I have a disk desease . | F | 67 | 10 years 25mg 4X day | 6/17/2011 | 5 | I have neuropathy | None. I take 40 mgs. at bedtime.

I was taking amitriptyline with so much grogginess and weight gain, I was switch to nortripyline and have to take in the morning, because at night I can't sleep with it . It has worked so well for pain and much less side effects then amit. Worth a try for someone like me. | F | 53 | 6 months 25 mg 1X day | 3/25/2015 | 5 | Chronic Migraines | My side Effects are Vivid Nightmares, dry mouth, weight gain. Loss of sexual appetite. | I used to receive 3 migraines in a week. Prevented me from living a life. work was effected, plans etc. Ever since taking this drug I only get 3 in a span of 3-4 months, which In turn for me is a fair trade of the side effects I have. | F | 25 | 3 years 25MG 1X day | 10/8/2014 | 5 | Fibromyalgia-no sleep | Taste of poison in mouth all day. | I can sleep and feel refreshed! Changed my life :-) still have pain but as I can now sleep, I can manage it so much better. For anyone interested, I also take Tramadol (Extended Release is Essential) 100 mg twice a day(a.m. and p.m.) with 500 mg Paracetamol (increases the effectiveness of Tramadol). I am not pain free by any manner of means, but a huge improvement from how the pain was when I took the 50 mg immediate release capsules. Best wishes to all that are struggling with health and medication issues. | F | 57 | 2 years 50 mg 1X day | 9/28/2015 | 5 | migraine associated dizziness | None but I am on a low dose. | This med was a life saver for me. It really reduced the dizziness and vertigo I was having pretty much 24/7. I have a history of atypical migraines so I'm pretty sure my constant dizziness was related and why this med helped. I still get dizzy on days but I'd say I'm about 90-95% on most days. It took about 4-6 weeks for me to feel better. My starting dose was 20mg and I now maintain on 10mg. | F | 35 | 3 years | 1/1/2017 | 5 | IBS-D | Dry mouth, sleep a bit longer at nights | Worked wonders to reduce my IBS-D to barely there. I'm still sensitive to some foods (e.g. onions, coconut milk, soft cheese, yogurt and soy) but I'm able to eat about 80% more things than before. I had tried all Western and naturopathic treatments prior to taking this. But nothing was 100%. Side effects of dry mouth were worse during first month. Now only noticeable to myself if I'm speaking too long or exercising | F | 43 | 3 months 50 | 3/23/2017 |
