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. I ended up in ER 3 times because of the severe withdrawal symptoms. | F | 30 | 6 weeks 10-20 1X day | 4/19/2015 | 3 | depression/pain | I have what you can call a "sensitive tongue" its very painful and eating foods that are even seasoned,simple things drinking a soda hurts and don't leave out that awfully burn of toothpaste. | Im goin to talk to my Dr about this I cannot take much more of my tonuge burning. | F | 42 | 1 times 50mg | 4/12/2015 | 5 | Migranes and neuroapthy | I have neuroapthy and migranes . 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 | 4 | Migraine-Associated Vertigo/Dizzy | Drowsiness after taking med- I take it at night because of this. I also think it may contribute to my chronic dry eyes. | I had migraine-associated vertigo/dizziness almost constantly for over a year when I finally decided to try this medication. I also had other migraine symptoms like photophobia and phonophobia. I had full-blown migraines with visual aura and hand numbness 3-6 times a year. I tried verapamil before this med with no help. I experienced improvements in my symptoms within a month or two but I actually improved even more over the following 6-12 months. The dizziness is now so much better. I even have days where I don't notice it at all (I used to spend entire days in bed because I felt so bad). The main time I notice dizziness now is post-menstrual (estrogen rising?). The photophobia and phonophobia are mostly gone but I still get 3-5 full-blown migraines a year. This drug has helped give me my life back. I experienced little side effects. I rate 4 instead of 5 because the dizziness is not 100% resolved. | F | 33 | 2 years 10-30mg 1X day | 3/11/2015 | 5 | I have neuropathy | None. I take 40 mgs. at bedtime. I have not had any side effects. | I would like to know if it would be OK to take 10 mg in the morning. | F | 6 months 1X day | 3/8/2015 | 1 | migraine | though it helps with migraine i have experienced hight blood pressure, rising heartbeat, blurriness, slow thinking. But stopping is extremely difficult so would like to hear other people's experience. | M | 21 | 6 months 75MG 1X day | 2/25/2015 | 1 | fibromyalgia | extremely dry mouth, stomach burning with nausea, can't sleep, feel groggy, dizzy, sore throat | F | 51 | 2 weeks 30mg | 1/23/2015 | 3 | Neuropathy after muscle injury | Extreme dry mouth and throat, racing heart, persistent tachycardia, difficulty finding words, using different words than intended, foggy, very forgetful, surreal feeling when awake, jittery, extreme anxiety. Sleeplessness, | I started on 25mg and noticed above symtoms around day 3 to a mild degree. I increased to 50mg on day 7 and the symptoms became way worse to the point that my pulse remained in the 120s at rest and I ended up in the ER. I decreased to one pill but continued to have tachycardia, and extreme anxiety, could barely function. I also lost weight because I could barely eat and became nauseated if I ate too much, it acted like a stimulant and appetite suppressant for me which I hated and without much weight to lose it was also alarming as I lost over 3 pounds in 10 days. It really helped my pain though. I had no pain with this drug during the day and only had to take my ultram at night before bed. This med works by increasing norepinephrine the precursor to adrenaline that can be too much for some people. Unfortunately the side effects were so extreme I had to get off the med. Being a nurse the confusion and forgetfulness also made me feel unsafe to return to work on this med. Am now trying gabapentin which I hear is not as good but at least no racing heart!. | F | 36 | 10 weeks 25 -->50 | 12/22/2014 | 1 | MIGRAINE | From 1st dose, experienced restless legs at night, and inability to sleep.
