Thanks, Chris!
By the way, what do you do to help with the dry mouth? When I've had that side effect from other meds, I could drink water all day and it wouldn't make a difference. Gum, maybe?cindy
> I've taken Nortriptyline for over 3 years and really only had the dry mouth as a side effect. Nortrip is one of those meds that is supposed to have a definite therapuetic range. It can be determined by simple blood tests whether you have found that range. I take 100 mg/day and that seems to be about the standard depending on how well your body breaks the med down.
