Been taking nortryptiline for 3 weeks now and not seeing any improvement at all.
ETA: I have headaches nearly every day now and eye pain mainly on the right side.. So far haven't been able to have any relief when I take OTC meds.

Oh, Bailey!
I'd do what dalek suggested and call your neurologist every day with your list of things piling up. I've been blogging my experiences everyday so I have a log of what's been going on.
I was in your same position about getting into the neuro I used years ago - they said I was considered a new patient and couldn't get in for a month.
I was able to make an appointment with his associate and got in the following week, which was too long due to my pain but it did work out. I had all the tests run last week but now I have to wait two weeks for the results, which is driving me batty because my symptoms are getting worse, sometimes by the hour.
Can you find another neurologist you can see immediately or is this one on your insurance plan and/or recommended?
My heart and prayers go out to you. And I'm crying for you.
