Hi Tamara,
Nortriptyline can sometimes cause hypotension but to quote PubMed.... 'Nortriptyline has been shown to cause significantly less serious postural blood pressure drops, an important difference between this drug and other TCAs.'
>I was under the impression that nort's side effects were less severe than Anafranil's.
You are correct!
>The other problem I was having with Anafranil was that it really didn't feel much different than a SSRI at the dose I could tolerate.
Another good reason to try nortriptyline since it is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Be persuasive!
Regards,
Ed.
