User Reviews for Nortriptyline

nortriptyline: I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome two years ago in August 2008. It's been a long, lousy 2 years. I've been on many different medicines and none of them worked. Finally nortriptyline (25mg) once a day before bed has FINALLY given me relief. It's only been one week since I started this drug but it's been a week where I can actually leave the house and not worry about my IBS (diarrhea) issues. I'm a 37 year old male. Lomotil and Imodium have only worked partially for me. Nortriptyline worked right away (the next day I was issue free - and I'm not exaggerating) I wish my doctor had me try this medicine earlier, although I do understand him wanting me to try other medicines first. HOWEVER, I still take a half Imodium every other day with this medicine.

nortriptyline: I also took nortriptyline for irritable bowel syndrome. It did work within a couple of days, however it also came with side effects. I would wake in the middle of the night and not be able to go back to sleep. The worst side effect was a marked decrease in sexual performance. I discontinued the medication after two weeks. Within a few days the IBS was back, but the side effects were gone.
