In reply to Nortriptyline? Any experience?, posted by KarenB on March 14, 2000, at 11:45:11
> Anyone taken Nortriptyline? If so, any side effects? Any experience with it working for fatigue depression? I am Bipolar II and don't respond well to SSRIs. The working meds I had in the Philippines are not available here, so my new doc has me trying this.
I used to take Nortriptyline with Zoloft. Sadly the Zoloft was so bad for my sex life I had to abondon it, and the Nortriptyline went with it. But in hindsight, I liked Nortriptyline. Its primary side effect for me that didn't go away was dry mouth. It was good for sleep if I took it in late afternoon. It was strangely activating. By that I mean, if I got active, it felt like it was boosting me. But if I stayed on the couch, I just vegged out. I had to get up and get going to kind of kickstart it.
