5 | pain I have severeRA,osteo, & fibro | Dryness of skin, very dry mouth-- my dentist put me on special toothpast & mouth wash that works wonders. Takes about 2-4 weeks 4 this to reach maximum effect. | F | 61 | 9 months 10-20mg | 4/25/2014 | 5 | Back pain and nerve damage | Appetite suppressed and night sweats | F | 36 | 1 years 100 pnight | 3/31/2014 | 3 | peripheral neuropathy | Dry mouth, moderate constipation, drowsy, dizziness when standing up, loss of appetite, decreased libido, extremely vivid dreams | No effect whatsoever on my pain level, however getting decent sleep for the first time in years is wonderful. Will continue using fr at least one more month to see if any pain relief manifests. Noticed significant synergistic effects when combined with Ativan and Vicodin. | M | 32 | 1 months 40 1X day | 1/16/2014 | 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 25 MG 1X day | 11/4/2013 | 5 | depression migraine & tension heada | Dry mouth, constipation, urination, | F | 39 | 6 weeks 60 | 10/10/2013 | 1 | Depression | I've got more depressed , get really angry and moody and ready to fly off the handle at any moment . Any one else get this from this medication . I'm going to stop taking it . Can you stop taking it immediately ? Thanks | M | 35 | 7 days 25 | 10/5/2013 | 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 30 mg 1X day | 9/3/2013 | 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 50 MG | 8/30/2013 | 1 | Anxiety, panic disorder, migraines | I sleep 20 hours out of 24. I am a zombie! Can't move, can't function, nautious. Sleep all the time. Can't stay awake. Very irritable , angry and cry easily. | F | 38 | 2 days 50 mg | 7/5/2013 | 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 20 mg 1X day | 6/14/2013 | 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 10MG 1X day | 5/20/2013 | 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. . | F | 50 | 5 years 50 mg 1X day | 5/11/2013 | 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 50mg | 5/9/2013 | 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 | 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 | 3 | depression, muscle pain and sleep | Really weird oh most nightmares from day 1 | F | 23 | 4 days 25 mg | 3/18/2013 | 4 | Migraines | Felt in a daze at night after taking it, extreme tiredness, weird dreams, dry mouth. Besides dry mouth, side effects have gone away & I don't have near as many migraines | F | 19 | 2 months 25 MG | 3/2/2013 | 4 | Migraines with aura | Relief of migraines (were daily and now I get one once every two weeks). Still get auras. Slight weight loss. More energy. High blood pressure/pulse. Less frequent urination. Thirsty a lot which comes with dry mouth. I don't have any problems sleeping | F | 18 | 1 months 50 MG | 1/26/2013 | 3 | Sciatica (pain in lower back) | Dry mouth, bad tast in mouth, difficulty sleeping, vivid dreams, hot flushes, hard to get motivated, hearing effected. | M | 49 | 2 months 25 mg | 1/21/2013 | 2 | Migraine/Headache | Dry mouth, sleeplessness, some mood swings, much more frequent urination, it helped at first but I am still getting headaches regularly. My body seems heavy and tired a lot. I take this along with Tramadol (for pain) but I'm not happy so far. | F | 20 | 1 months 10 MG | 1/8/2013 |
