also feel much more depressed since I started taking it..
sorry for all those questions, I just don't know if I should try to sit it out, if it's normal in the beginning (been 8 days now), or if it's a bad sign and it's been the wrong choice for me..Never took any TCA before except amitriptyline which worked great for sleep but I only tried it a few days because of fear of the excessive weight gain which is quite likely..
I thought of nortriptyline as a lighter, slightly more activating version of it without too much weight gain and SEs, which I should have tried before amitriptyline, and hoped it would still improve sleep a bit.. that's not happening yet though.
Thank you and sorry for the extra messages.. I always forget something and/or miss to point out what I mean..
