The doctor actually said that it can cause insomia, so if I find it hard to sleep at night, I can take it in the morning. Perhaps when I take it in the morning together with the gabapentin, then I will be "floating" around the house instead of walking.

Mrs.D, in your experience, how long does a particular medicine reach its maximum effectiveness? I have read in some posts here that after reaching a maximum dosage for gabapentin, it stops working - and that applies to Nortriptyline too.

My word...... how will manage our pain????
