Thanks for reply.
Actually, I'd be more than happy to wait until around week 11 for positive results.
At least that still gives me hope - the fact that many people say side effects = it may work & the fact that it can take as much as 11 weeks to begin helping.
Do you know if SLS had any response prior to adding Nortriptyline & how they are doing now with the combination?
I will hang in there (I'm in it for the long haul - as I'm running out of options) & keep posting - hopefully a positive one soon.
Thank You For Your Time & Consideration,
Take Care & Be Well,
Eric M. Wagner
