Default Nortriptyline....

Hi, I don't post much but I read alot. My back hurts and I need a better computer chair/table combo.
I was always on St. John's Wart off and on for 7 years.300 mg or so. Last month, My GP put me on amytript. which has issues with the "wart". I bloated up,gained weight and felt lousy.I cried and had a lot of anger issues. So, the neuro-she changes me to Nortrip and I've been on that for about 2 weeks or so.Now, I too feel a bit better.. She said it has less of the side effects. I'm thinking it has kicked in. My ear, though, is a bit techy especially using the phone and I get these funny non-painful jumps and ripples. I'm also on 2700 of Neurontin/day and all the vit.a girl could want. My mood is improving and I want to be more social again. So, I guess I have to give one to the the pharmaceuticals. I do wonder though if my nerves actually feel better or if I'm just "accepting their awfulness" better. Best not to question... Glad you feel better too.
