Smirk Nortriptyline.

The pain in my feet started this whole thing. I have unrelenting shooting pains that go out the toes. (without rx)
I have pain or numbness and tingling. I have been taking this for a few years, increasing as the pain breaks thru the current dose. This new tongue thing is in addition(to less important hair loss.) I have been tested for diabetes, thyroid, kidney function. All of the values fell between normal ranges. I was anemic for years, and told to eat leafy greens and niacin.That gives me a migraine so I don't eat them. I have read some dr's think anemia is related to rls onset. The other rx in question is Imitrex, used as needed. (I know the foods to refuse to eat.)
Lastly I had mri and nerve test that led to the conclusion that I had emboli pieces breaking and going down to the toes. I take aspirin which helps.

The longer you take Nortriptyline, and increase dosage, the more apt it is to cause tremors. I was on it for over 4 years for migraines, and I started going to a Neurologist at UCSF, and was told that it could inrease the affects. I didn't have tongue tremors, but I started having head tremors. I would discuss this with your MD.
