HiThanks for using healthcare magicUsually benzodiazepine effect on memory rather than antidepressant. In your case, may be due to some underline stress or depressive symptoms, you still have forgetfulness. I think, carry on with same dose of nortriptyline ans wait for few days. If you stay with same problem, that mean, you need another antidepressant.RegardsDr. Abhishek Kapoor
