Good luck with everything. If nortriptyline is the right drug for you, you might feel better by day 14. I hope so. It depends on choosing the right dosage. However, nortriptyline can cause sleepiness for the first few days. It often makes sense to begin someone at 10 mg/day. The majority of people respond to 75 mg/day. Others need 150 mg/day. It depends on one's metabolism of the drug. You can actually take blood tests to determine the right dosage.
What dosages of nortriptyline were you prescribed?
Please keep us updated.
