In reply to Nortriptyline trial a failure?, posted by glennb on December 4, 2008, at 16:24:57
Raise the dosage of nortriptyline. Most people respond to 75mg. I take 150mg. If you are curious, there are tests that assay blood levels for this drug. The therapeutic range is listed to be between 50-150ng/ml. This is best used only as a rough guideline. Finding the right dosage is still a matter of trial and error. However, this can be done relatively quickly. I wouldn't spend more than 3-4 weeks at any one dosage if you are not benefiting from it. At least try 100mg if you haven't already.
