User Reviews for Nortriptyline

Pamelor (nortriptyline): For several years I have lived with spine and disc-damage. I have been on a controlled narcotics program for quite a while. It saved my life. Chronic pain scrambles the brain. I was already on fluoxetine, but felt I was losing ground. Then my docor put me on nortriptyline. GREAT results. I feel better mentally, and the medicine somehow "soothes" inflamed spinal-cord areas. NOT my imagination-over the years, doctors tried several medicines for this, none worked. This one helped both the depression AND nerve-impulses at the discs/spinal-cord.

nortriptyline: I am still in the early stages of using this medication. My fourth week. It has really helped with the back pain. Although I still feel pain, it is not continuous in all areas of my back. It is now just if I tweak the source. I did not heed the warning to avoid alcohol the first week and was very ill as a consequence. I was vomiting for 2 days afterwards and very dehydrated. My own fault. I am going to speak to my doctor to see if we should add to the dosage to try and get rid of the pain completely. I am currently on 10mg per night. Although I don't drink much, I do feel that I don't have the freedom to choose if I would like to drink. So, this is the down side to this medication. However, I would love to get rid of back pain for good!

Pamelor (nortriptyline): Cycled off opiates after a severe multi-trauma accident onto a pamelor/amitryptilline combo. Worked very well. Definitely get yourself some eyedrops, though. Needed the brand name, because the generic gave me cardiac arrythmias. I am very impressed with this drug.

nortriptyline: After trying Tramadol, Oxycodone and Neurontin, I tried Nortriptyline for chronic back pain due to a herniated disc. Unfortunately, after only a couple of days on the drug, I had to quit. It made me extremely dizzy and caused my blood pressure to drop so quickly, that I nearly passed out while taking a vigorous walk.

nortriptyline: Seems not to be working for my pain, not sleeping any better as pain keeps me awake.

nortriptyline: I was prescribed this for pain, it helped a little, but it also boosted my mood 100%

nortriptyline: I've suffered from chronic pain my entire life and often haven't been able to sleep as a result. I found this medication to often be very helpful. Though it took several weeks to really work, it definitely helped me sleep and my pain has decreased. I was started at a very low dose, which gave me a lot of flexibility to move up and down as the situation required. Taking the medication coincided with some slight weight gain, but this could have been due to a vareity of other factors. Overall I found it very helpful!

nortriptyline: I have suffered with Fibromyaliga for nearly 25 years. This is the only medication that helped with my pain; helped with sleep and did not make me feel "dopey" all day. I can't say it will work for everyone, but it has helped me. I have been on it for 20 years. I take 50Mg at night about an hour before bed. When there are weather changes coming through, my pain gets worse, I take 60Mg.

Pamelor (nortriptyline): It helps me.

nortriptyline: I had a car accident two years ago and the back, neck and leg pain crippled me untill I tried nortriptyline. I am pain free and take 50mg which I build up too. After 6 weeks the only down side is I cannot drink alcohol but a small price to pay and if I try to reduce them I go back to the same conditions I had before taking them. I take it at night and actually sleep for 6 hours straight pain free which I could not do before. This medicine has given me back my life.

nortriptyline: I was in a car acccident mouths ago but the pain never went away. I can't work, hard to sleep, can't lift things, my life came to a stop. The medicine looks like it is helping, the pain is better, I'm sleeping better, but only been on it for one week.

Pamelor (nortriptyline): This medication made my ears ring which they have been doing for about 20 years now. My Doctor advised that this is a less than 2% side effect. Never the less, be careful.
