"i have been taking nortriptyline 10mg capsules (6 capsules for 60 mg) every night before i go to bed for over 3 months now.  i was involved in a mva collision by a drunk driver and i now suffer constant head pain. i now have post concussive head syndrome.  i was taking narcotics constantly because of the head pain, i do not have migraines.  i was able to be seen by a neurologist and because of the frustration and anger i had against the drunk driver, well the nortriptyline has help considerably in my head pain and also feeling depressed. the only side effect i am experiencing is dry mouth and sleeplessness.  i am now taking it 2 to 3 hours before i go to sleep. there was a couple of times i missed the doses and the pain was there again."
