Amitriptyline/nortrityline

[Entropy]

My worst symptoms for a few months now have been strange pressure headaches and strange vision. My neurologist wants me to try nortrityline. Does anyone have any experience with these drugs for either headaches or anxiety? I'm nervous to start them, and I'm not very confident they will even help. Anyone have side effects?

I used amitriptyline for really bad anxiety it worked for me helped me sleep better.and gain confidence to go out again and stopped panic attacks.

What dose were you on? Also did you notice any weird side effects? Or withdrawl when you were done?

[steven14 in reply to Entropy]

I started on 15mg then went up each month to 50mg .I felt more anxious at start but after about 5 weeks things settled down also I found taking them at bed time was best. as for withdraw I came off slowly at my pace no side affects just felt so much better
