NORTRIPTYLINE
Question:
My doctor just added this to my daily regimen. It is for depression for which I have been taking Prozac for ages. I’m on a ton of other drugs – lorazepam, in particular.
This is a little late, but maybe you will see it. Years ago I tried Nortriptyline and it was the first drug that touched my depression. Wishing you good luck, Tony — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

I read the warning-caution-indication pamphlet on it when it got here and I am not going to take it, yet. The possible side effects are dizziness, drowsiness, and what not. I’m emailing my doctor today. I’m too freaking tired from the sleep apnea and with all the anticonvulsants, neuropathy, and other stuff I take I don’t want another load of that. It also can harden stool. I already take a stool softener because of the anti-convulsants. I sleep five hours a day in addition to 10 hours a night because of the apnea. Guess what? Starting Monday, workmen will be in my bedroom all day working on the repair of the outside of this building. Oh, joy unbounded! Maybe, just, maybe I’ll check into a hotel for the week. — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

It is a good med to augment the antidepressant effects of an SSRI. Nortrip hits norepinephrine and the SSRI hits serotonin. The drugs (or combo of drugs) that affect two or more transmitters seem to be more effective for depression. The MAO inhibitors affert 3 neurotransmitters, and seem to be the most effective antidepressants. I’m on a similar combo: desipramine and Zoloft to prevent recurrant depression. And Klonopin to keep the anxiety level down. Chip — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

The nice workmen just told me they need to be here for only a couple hours on Monday. Their stupid notice says two to three weeks. Go figure The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

snip: IMO, I would make a list of all the meds and over the counter drugs including vitamins, etc. you take and give it to your pdoc and pharmacist. The pharmacist would probably have more information about them. I would not take it without voicing my concern with my pdoc. I’m concerned about the Prozac/Nortriptyline combo. Food for thot. -frizz — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm
