The drug has been around for 40 years and has probably been taken by millions and millions of people--that is a long time to accumulate long lists of unbelievably rare and in some cases bogus side effects, as some of the side effects listed may not even have had anything to do with the drug, being from some other condition the person might not even have been aware of. I've taken nortriptyline myself and noted these side effects: constipation, dry mouth (minor), orthostatic hypotension (minor), tachycardia (minor), and excessive sedation. As a plus, it also wiped out my tinnitus and chronic headaches, as well as the minor urinary hesitation/retention problem I typically have in an unmedicated state.
