 2  Severe Back Pain Dry mouth, loss of taste, feeling very weak when waking up, increased intensity of moods, constipation followed by diarrhea My doctor prescribed this for my back pain to help with the 40-60mg of norco I take daily. I have noticed no help with pain. I had a 30 day supply and ran out 4 days ago. I go to pick up more today but in the 4 days I haven't taken it I have slept maybe a total of 10 hours and have had some very vivid nightmares that seem very real. I hope that taking it again will let me sleep normally. I didn't notice being more sleepy like most people though. M 26 30 days

 4  Migraines A week and a half after starting I had 8 migraines in 6 days and they were much more painful than usual. My Dr. increased from 20 to 30mg and also said it takes about a month to really kick in. I have also noticed dark urine and have some very vivid nightmares that affect my sleep. Now that I've been on it for a month and a half I have not had a migraine for 26 days which is a huge and positive change. Will have to see how things play out over the next few months. I would rather not have almost nightly bad dreams, but they are better than the migraines. F 41 45 days

 1  Chronic headaches Right after taking this pill I vomit!! Not just like a little I puke my brains out! Last night was the only night I didn't . So I tried taking anti vomit tab and it worked a little the night before. As for tonight it wasn't more than five minutes and I was vomiting. It makes my stomach cramp and I just heave until there is nothing left and then some. I will not take this anymore!! F 32 4 days

 1  nerve pain Very dry mouth, constipation Prescribed for nerve pain in my hands. Took for 2 weeks. Woke up with extremely dry mouth, felt as if my gums and tongue were glued together. Plus constipation and sleepless nights with vivid dreams. No REM sleep at all. Absolutely NO effect on my nerve pain. Stopped taking after 2 weeks - not worth it dealing with side effects and NO pain relief. F 74 2 weeks

 4  Chronic migraine/daily headaches Sleeplessness (waking up every few hours), depression, dark diarrhea, loss of appetite, I used to get chronic, painful headaches almost every day. Since taking Nortriptline, my headaches have almost stopped. I still get sharp pains all over my head (as though someone was using a pin and pricking me). I had a few downsides to this medication though. I have insomnia, so it is hard for me to fall asleep to begin with. With this medication it takes a few hours for me to fall to sleep and when I finally do, I keep waking up in the middle of the night. I have been depressed and extremely irritated with everything and everyone. Overall, it did the job of getting rid of my headaches but I am not sure that it is worth being depressed and upset. F 22 4 weeks

 5  two discs herniated I have night sweats and hair loss (but I'm also in menopause so go figure...), sometimes hard to start to urinate. Despite of the side effects described above it basically saved my life- I'm functioning normally, I walk, garden, do everything I need to do. Before I was in such pain I could not function, walk or stand still. If I need to wait in line for a long time I prefer to sit after a while, the same with longer walks (sit & rest for a moment ) but I drive and do everything I could not do before. Even if I'll became bold I'll still will take it. The other option is surgery. Gabapentin is also taken for that but per my neurologist it is not as effective - for about 50% of people who have such pain- Nortriptyline's effectiveness is much higher then Gabapentin's. .

 1  Sleeplessness from provigil I am absolutely horrified to continue this drug. I don't understand why my dr. Perscribed it. I was taking mirtazapine 15 mg for sleep & after 6-weeks I was still having demonic dreams about all of my family who has passed away. My mother & grandmother were angels in my life, but NOT on either of the drugs I mentioned. I constantly dream they are green demons crawling on my ceiling, & speaking in Linda Blair exorcist type voices. Vomiting at me & I'm trapped in the room with them. If its not them in the dream, just insert a star from a show on tv I watched that night. I dreamt all the singers on American idol were green, peeling flesh, & would spit vomit @ me in the audience when they sang. AWFUL! So, after reading all of these nightmares people are having, I dont know why dr. Perscribed it for me. I'm afraid to sleep!!!! M 49 10 days
