Hi groucho,
I recently started taking nortriptyline about three days ago, it seems to be helping with my pain. It is to soon to tell what the complete benefit will be, because it can take up to 2 weeks for the drug to reach it's maximum effectiveness.
It is also worth mentioning that I am taking the following:
B12 Methyl 5000mcg
Benfotiamine 150mg twice daily
R Lipoic Acid 600mg / split into 200mg 3 times daily
I noticed less burning and pain in my feet when I increased the dose of R Lipoic Acid, so it may be a combination of the two now helping with my foot issues.
I take 25mg of nortriptyline at night before bed and let the effects taper off during the day.
This is helping me some for now, but I am sure it will need modification in the future.
