In reply to Saw Pdoc Today What Do You Think Of the Med?, posted by Phillipa on August 22, 2005, at 19:54:48
> Before I fill my Rx I want to know what you guys think. My pdoc was observant enough to see how high my anxiety is. So she kept the valium and then prescribed Nortriptaline l0mg l-3 tabs a bedtime. So what are your experiences with this med and does it help with anxiety and how high is this dose. Thanks, Fondly, Phillipa
Hi Phillipa,
First off, I have paradoxical reactions to a lot of meds so my experience may not be helpful. I added nortriptyline 25mg/day to my Celexa when I was so anxious. The first few days, I felt better, had more energy. Then I started getting way more anxious. I stuck with it for about three weeks before throwing in the towel.
It also gave me a VERY dry mouth. Maybe if I had started at a lower dose, I'd have had better results. It may work great for you. The reason my doctor prescribed it was because it was supposed to help with anxiety.
