I began taking nortriptyline a little over 2 weeks ago. I started off at 25 mg for the first 2 weeks with little to no side effects, as well as little to no improvement in my mood.
I increased the dosage to 50 mg for the last 2 days and have noticed much more significant side effects. After taking the 50 mg before bed, I wake up feeling groggy and am very tired by mid-day. I took a 3 hour nap in the middle of the day yesterday! I also feel considerable dizziness and cognitive symptoms throughout the day.
I know this is a rather low dose to be feeling such excessive side effects.
Will these side effects diminish soon or should I reduce my dose back to 25 mg?
