r/nortriptyline

Success stories?

I've seen a lot of negative stuff on here about this drug, but I'd really like to hear how it's worked for people. I just got prescribed 10mg for nerve pain and TMJ (yes I'm aware it's the lowest dose.) I'm terrified of not being able to sleep and erectile dysfunction lol. It's TEVA.
I'm also extremely worried about weight gain as someone with body dysmorphia, but I'm on a high dose of a GLP-1

Stopping nortriptyline

Hi I have been taking 25mg for a good few years for nerve pain having a retractile testicle it worked.
But i decided to try without it for two weeks the pain returned started taking it again but its not working and has now developed into pudenal neuralgia.
Dr has prescribed gabapentin 100mg to switch too.
But he didn’t say anything about tapering off.
Google said I should be tapering off first before switching and upon reading nortriptyline could have been affecting my acid reflux also over the last few years?.
Any advice on stopping nortriptyline?.

Nortriptyline+zofran+side effects

Hello

My doctor put me on nortriptyline (starting with 10mg to go up once adjusted) for IBS and anxiety. Yesterday night was my first dose and I have a lot of dizziness/lightheadedness all day, which I expected. I have a lot of health anxiety and I am an emetophobe and regularly take zofran/ondansetran for IBS related nausea. At some point in the night I took some zofran as I woke up with nausea, and read this morning that they don't interact well, although I don't have any of the related effects.

I am now dreading taking the second dose, and if I should take zofran at all, should the nausea or upset stomach come back. The sooner I can see my doctor is Tuesday and I am looking for any suggestions or advice from people who have tried these meds together or had any side effects and how you pushed through. Thank you.

Nortriptyline mood swings and anger bursts

I’ve been on 25mg Nortriptyline (Noritren) for about a month now and I’ve been experiencing anger bursts and being easily overwhelmed and irritated, also crying very often, sometimes uncontrollably. Has anyone else experienced this, if so, did it go away?

Doctor said i should go up until 50mg.
