"i have stage 5 crps and have been taking 75mg of nortriptyline (generic for pamelor) at bedtime for a few years now. i feel that i have been taking it long enough to say for sure that it helps with my treatment. i recommend this drug, but everyone is different and we all respond to medication differently, i hope nortriptyline give&#039;s you the same hope in your treatment that it has given me."
