Hi Ali,

Just 30 minutes ago I was googling nortriptyline after it was mentioned in another thread. How bizarre!

My take on it is that it generally has fewer side effects but less sedation than amitriptyline. I'm on amitriptyline (only 10 mg) at night for nerve pain and poor sleep, so that's why I was interested. They are both largely prescribed as anti-depressants at higher doses.

Hopefully, you'll get some responses from people who are actually taking nortriptyline. I'll be interested in what they have to say.

Best wishes.
