> My Neuro has me on Nortriptylene for migraines [and for help with anxiety and depression]. I started at 10 mgs and now am at 20 mgs. I also started to take Prozac in the a.m. to try to get additiional AD benefits. Has anybody been successful on Nortriptyline for headaches? depression? anxiety?

> JoyNortriptyline was the only tricyclic that I could tolerate taking during the daytime. It didn't work by itself very well at the dosage I was willing to take (no more than 30mgs/day). It worked quite well with low-dose Zoloft (12.5mg/day). It seems to work best with an SSRI. You should get a good response with the Prozac addition. I read a post here about taking it with Effexor with good success as well. I'm taking Effexor+Wellbutrin (AD-wise), and the WB is just a little too nerve-wracking. I think the nortriptyline's cotton mouth would be preferable.
