The trouble with nortriptyline

I think I've decided that I've had enough of the current medication I'm on.

It's causing a lot of problems. I can't go to the toilet properly, it's given me two anal fissures, and I feel like I might be getting a bladder infection...

Yeah, I think I've had enough.

Sorry, if that's too much information. I just had to say it, in case anyone else out there is considering nortriptyline as a treatment for CFS.

I've come to the same conclusion.. I'm over nortriptyline.. Also got my vitamin levels tested and am seriously low in vitamin d, have you tested yours? I've decided to go herbal and try valerian... Good luck! Mary

Yep... my vit D was the lowest my doctor had ever seen. All documented in the rest of my blog... (http://cfs-uncensored.blogspot.com/2008/07/my-second-appointment-with-dr-s.html)

Good on you for getting off nortriptyline - the stuff is poison, in my opinion!

Cheers!

And, I went herbal too. I found St Johns Wort (tablets) and SAMe much better than nortryptyline.
