Nortriptyline is less sedating than Elavil typically. However, Elavil (amitriptyline) has new studies showing it is the only TCA that helps with peripheral nerve repair. So therefore, the Elavil works in two places...the other TCAs like nortriptyline only working centrally in the brain.

thanks for that, i have heard about nerve repair studies recently regarding amitriptyline. It may be beneficial to switch. A pain killer that works and is good for you?
