I was prescribed Nortriptyline,whilst taking fluoxetine,and within 2days I experienced worst sore throat, difficulty swallowing saliva, & glaucoma-like symptoms (swelling of area around eyelids and adjoining forehead area; itchy inner corner of left eye; & eyelashes glued shut upon awakening;muscle fatigue & mild but persistent headache (ever-present until 1wk after stopping the Nortriptyline). Anyone else similar?
