| 1 | Depression, anxiety, fatigue | Increased anxiety, agitation, worsening depression, panic, insomnia, nightmares | I never comment on medication but felt I had to with this one.

Seeing things that weren't there. Anger and wanted to hurt myself. Things that never bothered me before now did. Even my birds made to much noise I thought.

Never again. | F | 43 | 3 days 10 mg 1X day | 1/14/2021 | 1 | Peripheral neuropathy | This is the most horrific medication I have ever taken. I am surprised I stayed on it for so long before I realized that I lost myself. I was a zombie.

I felt calmer when first taking it and helped me sleep. Didn't have my normal fit of anger in the morning, just kind of felt blah. I got to work about 12 hrs after taking the med and I was okay got everything done and opened the store, started to feel sad for no reason it wasn't a bad day and I was working with good crew. I sat down in office and just broke down crying and couldn't stop so bad I hyperventilated and was taken to hospital for them to tell me it wasn't the med that caused it. Every other day I've been fine just normal anxiety. I don't even want to touch this med again after 1 dose. | F | 28 | 1 days 10mg | 2/7/2017 | 1 | Nerve pain | Dizzy, nausea, nightmares, anxiety, fast heart rate, dry throat. | I took this medicine an hour before bed, it made me feel extremely drowsy so I laid down for bed. About 4 hours later I was awake, sweaty, heart pounding, dry throat and completely panicking. It was an horrific feeling! I got up and drank hot water with honey then tried to lay back down but couldn't so I paced until I was exhausted and finally laid back down and fell asleep, woke up 2 more times then finally just got up about 530. Thought I'd feel better but no...I was completely nauseous, horrible headache and still having anxiety attacks. Needless to say that was the end of Nortriptyline for me. | F | 27 | 1 days 10 mg | 10/18/2016 | 1 | Anxiety/Mood Disorder | This drug caused Unbelievable Aggressive behaviour I was easily irritated and Very short tempered, which for me was very strange as I'm usually a very calm and easy going person even with my mood disorder I have never felt the way I did while taking this medication. This drug made me want to physically harm other people to the point I'd fantasize about what I would do to someone who had irritated me earlier, or people who in all reality didn't do anything at all. It caused me to yell at people while driving, caused me to say things I normally wouldn't say, caused extremely scary nightmares. When I wasn't feeling like assaulting someone this drug only elevated my anxiety and panic attacks, did not help it one bit!! TERRIBLE medication. | If you want to be an a**hole to everyone about anything then this drug is for you otherwise I would NOT recommend it to anyone, the aggression is not worth it. | M | 27 | 4 weeks 30 MG 1X day | 3/21/2016 | 1 | Low back pain | Oh dear God, I've never been aggressive or angry before until THIS!

Dry mouth and eyes. Nightmares. Easily aggravated without any reason to be. Hair loss. Did not stop pain. | Worst medicine I have ever tried. The side effects do not lessen with time.

Had to stop taking the drug due to side effects and ended up having a nightmarish time coming off of the drug. The withdrawal symptoms were so severe I ended up in ER 3 times!!! | I was put on nortriptyline for daily headaches caused by a lumbar puncture procedure. Though it helped decreased the intensity of the headaches it did not get rid of them. I was also having major heart issues while on the drug. My heart would race all of a sudden for no reason. The muscle spasms were becoming a concern as I was getting them more frequently and all over my body! I tapered the drug off over a one week period. Although I only took it for 6 weeks on a very low dosage I ended up having a nightmarish time coming off of the drug! My were withdrawal symptoms were so sever: Racing heart, feverish body temperature, sweating, labored breathing, GI problems, skin itchiness, worsening of tinnitus, extreme dry throat, vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, fatigue and of course worsening of headaches.
