I see so many people that have relief with 10mg of nortriptiline but yet it does NOTHING to me. not even make me sleepy. I have the best diet, taking vitamins, excerising a bit (even though it causes extreme pain later. nothing helps. just getting worse. I feel like there is no medication help for me either b/c the nortriptiline isn't making a dent. What are people taking and what doses.

I think you will find that those getting relief with "only" 10 mg of Nortriptylene are taking it with a second drug, such as neurontin (gabapentin). I don't think that anyone just taking 10 mg of Nortriptylene is getting good relief from symptoms as major as yours. NO drug is likely to give you 100% relief and very few of us do, and good relief may be more along the lines of 50%
You still haven't anything to lose by taking 50mg of Tramadol with a FULL glass of water. It will take a couple of hours before you may notice anything.
