I was started at 10mg and over a 3-4 week span was increased up to 40mg. Then my doctor each time i had a visit would go up by 10mg at a time based on how i was feeling. Im currently on 80 mg of Nortriptyline. I noticed on the lower doses that around 4-6pm in the evening my headaches would return. once we went up higher on the doses, i got to a point where the headaches were barely there unless i put my body through too much stress or stimulation.
Personally, i didnt find that it helped me sleep any better, i still take a sleeping medicine (temazepam), but worked great for my headache control.

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.
