Medication side effects
I've been taking nortriptyline for a week now. I started at 10 mg, and on sunday night, switched to 25 mg. That night, and again last night, I've had horrendous stomach pains. At first I thought it was related to my thyroid, and just being hungry at night.... but I feel fairly certain that it's the meds.... So now, since my physiatrist is on vacation, I'll have to go see my family doctor.... The headaches have been very much under control, and while I don't want to stop taking the meds, the pain is pretty severe...
So - Any suggestions on what I could be prescribed to help with the headaches? I need something that is at least somewhat safe to take during pregnancy (the plan is that once I know I am pg, I'll stop taking it)... I just don't know that fam doc will know what else to suggest.

When resting, symptoms are low. With exertion, I still suffer from fatigue, migraines, vision problems, problems thinking or reading, troubles sleeping, issues finding or getting words to my mouth when the headaches are bad, tinnitus, and thyroid issues which I think are due to the concussion. Seen one specialist, and now a few others through insurance review of my case. Hoping for further treatment.
