"i have been taking nortriptline for a little over a month now and have found it has helped in several areas of my life.  i have been suffering from headaches for over 10 years due to nerve trauma from a wisdom tooth extraction.  i have been on every medication under the sun and then some.  usually strong narcotics and several at a time with no real results at all.  i have also suffered from chronic depression, anxiety and panic attacks.  i happened to see a doctor not my own who asked if i would be willing to try it.  why not can&#039;t hurt was my thought.  i am so grateful for his suggestion, i have stopped taking the narcotics and anxiety/depression medicines. i am currently at 50mg going to start 60mg with no side effects other than dry mouth."
