"i am currently 16 y/o &amp; have been taking nortriptyline for about 6 years to treat migraines. i have been getting migraines since i was 8 or 9 and it eventually got to the point where migraines were a daily thing for me. after seeing a neurologist &amp; trying out 2 or 3 other perscriptions, my neurologist prescribed nortriptyline. it worked for a while then my dosage needed to be increased, however i still take it to this day, once before bed every single night. the only time i get a migraine now is if i&#039;m sick, skip two or more doses, or encounter a trigger, such as prolonged sun exposure, dehydration, large caffeine amounts, etc."
