I searched the forum and I didn't see much info on this. I'm recently diagnosed, but have had symptoms for a long time. I first tried Gabapentin, but even at the lowest dose I could not tolerate the side effects. Yesterday I started taking Nortriptyline at 10 mg. I'm groggy and have a dry mouth today, but it is tolerable. I have a couple questions for anyone that takes this. Is 10 mg. the average dose to get some relief? How long did it take to start working for you? Did it help with BOTH pain and the tingling/numbness?
