I just took one pill, the "N" one, last night, smallest dose I suppose. Today I am at work and was dying of thrist. For all the drinking, not may bathroom trips. I had to take an anxiety pill because the dying of thirst seem to make me panicky. Now I am not panicky, not dying of thirst and greatly relieved. I took a half 200 mg tegretol, which I get because I'm also bp. Also, when I got to work, I shoved five cookies in my mouth like a shotgun, that I didn't even like, suspected something was up and went and looked up the "N" drug - and it said it was a weight gainer - this after the doc told me to get as skinny as possible.

PS. I am new - once the leg cramps and pain in feet started, I started looking on the net and found out what I had before the doc told me. I walked around in cold state of fear for three weeks. I was afraid to look at these kinds of sites because I was afraid seeing any more horror stories would make me loose my mind - I was looking for helpful things but they all seem to have horror stories to start with. Then I went around just cussing under my breath for a while... now I'm finally looking at what others say. Found the Stickies at top very helpful and relieving.

The smallest dose of Nortriptyline is 10 mg. I'm taking 25 mg+ and don't find much difference in my thirst. The first day or 2, I did feel a bit hungry, as I often do when feeling anxious. The hungry feeling went away, and the nervousness calms down a bit after a few days, so you may find that happen for you.

Thank you Groucho
