"i suffer from depression, back pain and anxiety that has been gradually getting worse.  i started taking nortriptyline and noticed a number of changes within 24 hours. i finally slept through the night.  my back pain dramatically improved and my anxiety lessened.  sounds amazing right?  well yes, but i was also crying all the time and felt even more depressed.  i also began having bad thoughts about hurting myself.  i have had bad thoughts in the past, but always had control of them.  these felt very different, i had no control of them.  

for some people this medicine is a miracle, but if you start to have thoughts that don%u2019t feel right when you start taking this medication, go to your doctor immediately."
