Nortriptyline

[Emilyhen]

Hi everyone just wondering how long side effects last when starting this medication?

I started nortriptyline 4 days ago and I’m feeling really light headed dizzy not really “there” as such. It’s such a horrible feeling! Please tell me if this is a normal “adjusting” period and how long I’m in for or if I’m experiencing bad side effects? Doctor thinks I should give myself a good 6 weeks but it’s hard mentally and some what making my anxiety worse telling my body to take a medication that is at the moment making me feel worse.

Thanks

Thankyou so much for replying! Could you tell me how long it took until you adjusted to the notriptyline? I hate feeling like this and think my body will never feel normal 😓

It takes couple of weeks but the fatigue is alwys there but depend on ur family thts what I do I talk when the anxiety increases. Try having coconut water and soya milk it helped me

Oh no maybe this medication isn’t for me then as I can’t have fatigue I have three young kids! Thanks for the tip ❤️
