Yup, serotonin shock is a real phenomenon from what I have read and also from discussions with my psych. 175mg of Notriptyline is a pretty healthy dosage - just curious if you've had a blood level on the Nortriptyline done. Severe constipation is a side effect for some people with Nortriptyline and I've had some doctors suggest eating higher fiber foods. The problem is fiber interferes with the absorption of Notriptyline. I surmise that if you space your eating of high fiber foods and your NTP doses far enough apart you may not have a problem. If you haven't done so already you might want to have a notriptyline blood level done. This is one of the few drugs where they actually can tell if it is at the right concentration to have a beneficial effect. Hopefully, your doc knows about the concomitant use of SAMe. I am not a medical professional of any kind but I would urge caution with this mix. Read up on serotonin shock.

Also excessive vitamin C also interferes with the absorption of Nortriptyline
