Hello pksplace. Nortripyyline is from the cyclic family of antidepressants. If you did well on this drug, you might stay with the cyclics. I might suggest you mention to your doctor Imipramine (Tofranil), Amitriptyline (Endep, also prescribed for various types of pain), or Maprotiline (Ludiomil) Either one of these will work much as Nortriptyline (Pamelor) did for you and are prescribed for Major Depression. Best of wishes along with good health to you,pledge
