> What is the dosage range on nortryptiline that people typically use? I just started some last night, will be at 50mg in three days. It will be augmenting 100mg Lamictal. And a few spansules of Cymbalta (weaning off!)
Most people do well at 75mg. The range is usually between 50-100mg. Ideally, one can have their blood levels tested after 10 days to see if they fall between 50-150 ng/ml. It is actually possible to take too much nortriptyine. Once the blood levels increase beyond a certain point, the drug stops working. This is what is known as a therapeutic window.
I wish you luck with your new treatment.
