Amitriptyline vs. Nortriptyline and side effects!

Posted by ben on April 28, 2006, at 7:32:08

Hi

I am taking 30 mg of Amitriptyline at night against chronic tension type headache. It`s working for about 50% but I can`t go up withe the dose because of side effects. Especially the anticholinergic side effects - obstipation, dry mouth - aren`t going away after 3 weeks now.
What about switching to Nortriptyline which should have fewer anticholinergic side effects. Probably I could go higher with the dose then? But the effectiveness isn`t as good as Amitriptyline.
Who knows Noveril = Dibenzepin(e)from Novartis? It is a TCA too but I can`t find any data on receptors.

Many thanks

ben
