nortriptyline: Started taking nortriptyline in 2004 for neuropathic pain, primarily in my legs. Tried Cymbalta when it came out in 2006 since it stated helpful with neuropathic pain. It didn't work; the hives, itching, tingling, and burning all returned. Back on the nortriptyline; my doctor allows me to vary my dosage from 50-80 mg depending on how my neuropathy is doing. Very noticable difference when I lower it; thinking I could get by with less because feeling better. 80mg seems to work very well for me. 0 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?

nortriptyline: Even though I had lots of side effects from this medication including over sleeping, day time fatigue and nausea it still helped me get a decent night's sleep and helped with the nerve pain when combined with Cymbalta. I'm taking a lower dose (50mg) and as time goes by the side effects are lessening. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

nortriptyline: I was given this medication for diagnosis of Raeders Paratrigeminal Neuralgia. Before I began this medication I had severe migraine headaches daily, facial twitching and eye drooping, amnesia, and blurred vision to the point of not driving. After taking the medication for two weeks, all of my symptoms have ceased. Side effects have been small hives and constipation. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?

nortriptyline: I was given nortriptyline to help with nerve symptoms with MS, along with depression. It has helped both drastically. I no longer get the tinglies down my arm, shooting pains, burning sensations and twitches, plus my overall mood is elevated. 14 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?
