Thanks, Doc:
Our insurance is in 3 tiers, with Nortriptyline on the lowest Tier. Usually all generics are on that tier, but some may be in the middle one, which would cost 2 1/2 or 3 times more. The highest is 5x the lowest tier. No hurry. I just talked to my Neuro about it for future reference, as I couldn't tolerate the side effects of the Nortriptyline at a higher dose, should it stop working at my present level.
